The ICX is a European industry get-together, founded in 2025, bringing together network operators, technology providers, cloud companies, industry experts and investors. Its inaugural edition took place successfully over two days in April 2025 and offered participants a diverse program of conference sessions, networking opportunities, and interactive speed-dating opportunities. Our mission is to strengthen the European telecoms sector by creating a platform for exchange of ideas and best practices and for building international relationships.
