Partnerships for Network Operators

In an increasingly competitive telecommunications landscape, partnerships between network operators, municipal utilities, and other market players are becoming increasingly important. They enable synergies, promote open access, and help drive the nationwide expansion of fiber-optic networks more efficiently and cost-effectively.

With our BREKO dialogue platform “Partnerships for Network Operators,” we are creating a forum that promotes the exchange of successful models and strategies. Since 2024, the event has established itself as a regular industry gathering, with a growing response from across the fiber-optic industry.

Utility companies, municipal utilities, platform providers, and investors are coming together to share best practices, discuss success factors, and jointly develop new approaches to collaboration.

Topics and Content

The dialogue platform showcases best-practice examples from the industry—ranging from Layer 1 to Layer 2 collaborations, open-access platforms, and public-private partnerships. Network operators, municipal utilities, and platform providers demonstrate how successful partnerships are implemented in practice.

The focus is on economic efficiency, technical interoperability, and the legal framework. In collaboration with experts, criteria are being developed to enable fair and sustainable cooperation.

Through practical insights, Q&A sessions, and World Café discussions, participants can evaluate their own strategies, network, and identify new business opportunities.

Purpose and Benefits

The BREKO Dialogue Platform offers concrete ideas for participants’ own cooperation strategies and helps network operators develop sustainable business models. Participants benefit from:

  • direct interaction with colleagues in the industry,

  • practical insights into ongoing collaborations,

  • and valuable contacts for our own partnerships.

Through its “Partnerships for Network Operators” initiative, BREKO is helping to strengthen collaboration within the industry and lay the groundwork for sustainable fiber-optic expansion in Germany.
