FITIS said in recent years, the world has suddenly entered a technological transformation that has changed almost every aspect of our lives. This is the new normal, and we foresee the continuation of this trend into the future. As the world grows more digitally dependent, the role of telcos in achieving the connected future will continue to evolve at a rapid pace.

While connectivity is found at the centre of all things digital, telecoms operators must endeavour to increase their agility and versatility as service providers, delivering disruptive services and solutions that will accelerate the digital transformation ahead of the competition. Particularly in business, public sector and for the ever-growing SME category, the digital future will rely on the provision of a comprehensive suite of services – from basic connectivity to high-end ICT solutions.

It is in these context FITIS has organised this virtual conference with telco leaders.
