Senior Industry Leaders Shared Their Insights on 6 November

The market for electricity cable is surging as the global appetite for power soars. The shift away from fossil fuels is transforming the industry as policy makers and the private sector accelerate the transition to renewable power, requiring long-distance, high voltage cable lines to expand grid transmission and supply to meet exploding demand from businesses and consumers. On top of this, the data boom is fuelling major and complex enhancement of telecom and digital infrastructure, creating additional need for increasingly specialised and smarter cable solutions.

The Financial Times hosted this webinar in partnership with Prysmian to explore the key role of cable in enabling the energy transition and digital transformation, and the critical steps that need to be taken by suppliers, businesses, and the authorities to keep pace with demand in an already constrained market.
