Digital Infrastructures as the Nucleus for Digitalization – Call for Contributions

Digital infrastructure enables the connectivity that we all enjoy and take for granted. As the nucleus for the digital economy and society as a whole, digital infrastructure forms the foundation for the higher layers in all value chains and is becoming ever more imperative as digital transformation surges. Without high-speed networks and highly secure, available, and reliable data centers, there can be no digitalization.

Please note: your contribution should not be too technical – the focus should be more on the strategic level.

• Given that the goal of the eco Association – as publisher of dotmagazine – is the responsible shaping of the Internet, promoting diversity is in our deepest interest. To boost the profile of women in the Internet industry, we are particularly keen to have the voices of women heard in our industry insights. We therefore especially welcome articles, quotes, and case studies which are (co-)written by, feature, or quote Women in Tech.
