Fiber Optic Forum 2025
November 17, 2025
COMCENTER Brühl | Mainzerhofstrasse 10 | Erfurt
The Thuringian Fiber Optic Forum 2025 demonstrated that digital infrastructure is key to competitiveness, innovation, and quality of life. Experts from business, politics, and local government came together to discuss opportunities, challenges, and solutions for fiber optic expansion. The discussions made it clear that fiber optics is not just a technical issue, but a strategic investment in the future of our state. The need is great, the momentum is palpable, and the willingness to work together is growing. The next Fiber Optic Forum is already planned for the summer – a clear indication that the expansion of fiber optic networks is to be accelerated.
Now is the time to consistently push forward with expansion. Cooperation, investment, and clear priorities are crucial for Thuringia to actively shape its connection to the digital future.
