Strong networks are the lifeblood of the digital future, and the heart of the infrastructures in Germany is beating in NRW. Two of the three German mobile network operators – Vodafone and Telekom – have their headquarters here. Following its takeover of Unitymedia, Vodafone also became a nationwide cable network provider alongside Telekom. NetCologne is still Germany’s most successful city carrier, and the presence of leading content and infrastructure providers means that NRW also provides an excellent environment for the development of new digital services. The global industry meets in Cologne once a year at ANGA COM, Europe’s leading conference and trade fair for broadband, television and online.
