This summer marks the milestone of being two years into our journey of independence, and we’re transforming at speed.

We now lead the fibre infrastructure market in a new collaborative strategy, rather than traditional carrier overbuild. We combine one of Europe’s largest owned fibre footprints with the continent’s fastest-growing IP network and Tier-1 global connectivity to deliver premium connectivity solutions, operational excellence, and exceptional customer outcomes through a partnership approach.

In today’s AI-driven infrastructure landscape, connectivity is becoming just as critical as compute itself. In many cases, data centre (DC) operators must address network and interconnection requirements long before GPU capacity or compute resources are even deployed. 

Connecting to the emerging neocloud ecosystem is rarely straightforward. These providers operate across multiple, geographically diverse data centres, creating significant complexity around low-latency connectivity, scalability, and resilient inter-site networking.

Sofia Connect has established itself as a key wholesale carrier in Eastern Europe, supporting data centres, carriers and enterprises with vital regional connectivity. But as demand for greater capacity and more direct access to Western Europe’s digital hubs increased, the company needed a partner with global reach and proven reliability.  

That’s where Zayo Europe came in. By connecting Sofia, we’ve added another key location to our European footprint, multiple links of redundant connectivity allowed us to provide Sofia Connect with a growing, high availability, Tier 1 network – pairing their regional expertise with our global reach.

2025 marked our first full year as an independent European company, and 2024 marked the dawning of the ‘intelligence era.” Learn what that means for you.

As our first full year as an independent European organisation draws to a close, we’ve taken a moment to look back, see what we’ve achieved, what we’ve learnt, and how it’s changed us.
