The Meeting Place for Connectivity, Cloud, Data Centres and the Infrastructure Powering AI 

For 25 years, Capacity Europe has been where the connectivity industry meets to solve future challenges together. 

This year, under the theme Connectivity 2030, Capacity Europe becomes a highenergy gathering designed to reflect how the industry now operates. Fastmoving. Interconnected. Built on collaboration. 

By the end of the decade, the market will be defined by: 

  • Exponential growth in data volumes driven by cloud and AI workloads 

  • Rapid expansion of data centre capacity across Europe 

  • Denser, higher-capacity fibre networks around major digital hubs 

  • Continued investment in global subsea connectivity 

Key Themes Defining Capacity Europe 2026

Metro Fibre and Interconnection 

Urban fibre and interconnection are becoming denser, more strategic and more closely tied to data centre and cloud demand. 

At Capacity Europe, fibre operators, wholesale providers and buyers meet where demand is most concentrated, exchanging insight and aligning on how networks will support the next phase of digital growth. 

The conversations here are practical, commercial and forward‑looking. 

Global Subsea Connectivity

Subsea infrastructure continues to underpin global data flows, with new routes, landing points and partnerships reshaping how regions connect. 

Capacity Europe provides a natural meeting ground for subsea operators, network owners, cloud‑driven buyers and investors to come together. 

These are high‑value discussions, happening in an environment designed to encourage openness and collaboration. 

Global Subsea Connectivity 

Data centres now sit at the heart of the connectivity ecosystem. 

As capacity expands and new markets emerge, data centre operators and their partners rely on close collaboration with fibre, interconnection and global connectivity providers. 

At Capacity Europe, those relationships are built and strengthened through constant interaction, both planned and unexpected. 

Intelligent Networks

As networks scale, software has become the control layer that makes complexity manageable. 

Capacity Europe brings technology providers and operators into the same space to explore how automation, orchestration and new commercial models are reshaping the industry. 

These conversations move quickly from theory to application, and relationships are built at Capacity Europe. 

What to expect in 2026. A Festival of Connectivity.


Capacity Europe is a highenergy, connected experience built around networking and deal-making. 

Across the event, multiple hubs of activity run in parallel, creating constant momentum from morning meetings through to latenight conversations. Expect a mix of structured, prearranged meetings and organic connections that happen naturally in networking lounges, on the exhibition floor and over coffee. 

The exhibition halls are alive throughout the day, with backtoback conversations, sessions and dealmaking. Sectorspecific summits will bring focused communities together, while keynote sessions anchor the wider discussion around Connectivity 2030, futureproofing networks and building for AI. 

Private meeting spaces support critical conversations, while industry dinners, brandnew parties and unforgettable social moments ensure the connections continue long after sessions end. 

This is where the digital infrastructure ecosystem comes together to move business forward.
