Launching the 16th edition of the DigiWorld Yearbook with a vast and vital forward-looking debate

Over the past 15 years, the DigiWorld Yearbook has forged a reputation as the go-to reference work from Europe’s premier think tank, IDATE DigiWorld. Every year, it delivers an analysis of the latest developments in telecom, Internet and media markets, identifies the core trends around the world and provides a snapshot of the shape of things to come.

To mark the release of the 2016 Yearbook, IDATE DigiWorld is hosting a forward-looking debate on the key trends that will shape the digital economy over the next 10 years. Based on detailed analyses of the current state of affairs, along with development scenarios for 2025 established by our in-house experts, the CEOs and presidents of the sector’s leading companies are invited to comment and share their views on what the digital future holds.

  • Digital economy & Internet 2025: Will trust imperatives bolster or impede the new digital economy?
  • Telecom 2025: What role will telcos play in the economy’s digital transformation?
  • Television 2025: Are we at the dawn of a single, global TV and video market?

Chairman, François Barrault, and CEO, Yves Gassot, along with the IDATE DigiWorld teams will be on hand at the launch events being held in Brussels (25 May), in London (2 June) and in Paris (14 June).
