Timo von Lepel
Managing Director NetCologne
NRW is where Germany's communications pulse is beating and there isn't anywhere else where the digital infrastructure is as developed as here. NetCologne has been providing the people and companies in the Rhineland with high-performance networks for more than 20 years and is thus an important motor for digitisation - as well as in the future.
