The Investors Committee has been actively engaged over the past months in addressing the current challenges and opportunities facing the fibre sector. The Committee has been closely monitoring the market environment, which continues to be challenging for both debt and equity financing in fibre. Analysis of recent trends indicates that not all business plans are meeting investors’ expectations, highlighting the need for greater alignment between industry ambitions and investor requirements.
In response to these challenges, the Investors Committee has identified the urgent need to develop a refreshed narrative for the fibre sector. This narrative will serve as a key tool in presenting opportunities more effectively to investors and banks, ensuring the sector’s growth potential is communicated clearly and persuasively. The Committee has also been working in close cooperation with other Council committees, recognising that a cross-functional approach is essential to provide investors with a holistic view of the sector’s development, sustainability, and technological evolution.
Looking ahead, the Investors Committee is preparing a series of meetings with investors for Q4 2025, designed to foster dialogue, share insights, and explore investment opportunities. Council members are encouraged to join the Committee, contributing their expertise and helping to strengthen the sector’s engagement with the investment community. The Committee remains committed to supporting the fibre sector in navigating the current market challenges while positioning it for long-term growth and sustainable investment.
