Interview with Dominique Leroy, Member of the Board of Management and CEO Europe, Deutsche Telekom

Dominique Leroy stresses the urgent need for the Digital Networks Act to modernise outdated telecom regulation and stimulate investment in fibre, 5G, and digital infrastructure. She calls for simpler rules and the removal of ex ante regulation to create a framework that truly favours investment. Highlighting Deutsche Telekom’s initiatives, Leroy points to the company’s participation in the AI Gigafactory to strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty, as well as a partnership with Perplexity to democratise AI access through affordable AI-powered devices.
