At Capacity Middle East, Vestitel CEO Valentin Velichkov joins Capacity’s Saf Malik to discuss the Balkan Digital Gateway and the development of a new South–North Digital Corridor connecting the Balkans with Scandinavia.

He explains how positioning Greece as a submarine hub will create a shorter, lower-latency route between Africa, the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Backed by the EU, the 5,000km fibre initiative strengthens European digital sovereignty, enhances connectivity with the Middle East, and supports growing demand driven by AI and digital transformation.
