🟢 At the heart of VivaTech, one deep belief stands out: artificial intelligence is a new industrial revolution. The #AI revolution is not just about Tech, it’s actually a lot more about infrastructure and networks if we want to bring AI to all. As Telcos, we are the backbone and the last mile of the digital ecosystem and we are aware of this responsibility. With a market of 450 million consumers, a solid regulatory framework, the quality of its infrastructure and a strong talent base, Europe must embrace its full AI potential. ➡️ But Europe is still a fragmented digital and telco market, and compared to China or the US, we are missing scale. In our telco industry, scale matters. As the most active for telco consolidation in Europe, with our recent operation in Spain and the creation of MasOrange, we, at Orange, know that scale gives us the capacity to invest, much more than we could have done as an isolated player. Europe must intensify its efforts and increase investments in digital infrastructure, and consolidation of the fragmented Telco market is critical for that… Even more in light of the AI revolution. 🙏 Thank you #VivaTech to offer, every year, a glimpse into the future. VivaTech is not just a showcase of innovation, but an invitation to think over the conditions to make the future happens. Greg Williams WIRED Orange Viva Technology

Agreed. World is becoming increasingly real-time because of Gen(AI) which needs not only a bigger pipe but a highly 'responsive' pipe.

Agreed Christel and as you know perfectly well consolidation incantation for stronger worldwide players has been here for quite a while and you lead the changes 👍. Recent rumors in the French banking sector for European consolidation generating actors able to play with the US mammoth banks might ring the bells for action in Brussels 🙏
