Telcos and GAIA-X: it’s a match


Lise Fuhr, ETNO Director General, joined the leadership panel at the GAIA-X Summit. Her speech was centered around 3 main messages:
  • A strong European cloud will be key to nurturing trust, making it a top industrial and political priority;
  • GAIA-X and other European cloud initiatives are essential on two fronts: innovation in technology and global leadership;
  • Telecom companies play and will play a top role in the European cloud ecosystem: 5G and fibre are the prerequisites. Moreover, proximity data centres and edge cloud are at the forefront of the future cloud applications.
This increasing importance of telecoms in the cloud world is well described by the engagement of our companies. During the event, a dedicated telecom panel included TIM, Ericsson, Orange and Proximus and discussed related use cases. The video recording will be included in next week’s ETNODigital issue.

EUROPEAN DIGITAL IDENTITY :
message by President Von Der Leyen

What does the digital wallet mean for EU citizens and residents? What will happen to our data when using it? How is trust embedded at the core?

The new digital wallet will be available for everything we do online, while empowering us to stay in control of the data we generate. From paying taxes, to logging in on social media platforms, or renting a bicycle, it will be available both online and offline. Every EU citizen and resident in the Union will be able to use a personal digital wallet from late 2022, if EU member states will agree on it.
