Register now to receive a new study on the occasion of DE-CIX's 30th anniversary that examines how Internet Exchanges are a success factor for digital ecosystems & economies.
AI, data, and digital ecosystems are reshaping the world – and it all depends on the infrastructure underneath. From early Internet Exchanges (IXs) to today’s global digital hubs, the next evolution is here: The digital capital. It’s where business, talent, and connectivity meet to fuel digital power on a global scale.
What makes a city a true Digital Capital – and why should you care? Because the future of economies, innovation, and connectivity depends on it.
Dstream Group’s study, "Frankfurt: The digital capital – Internet Exchanges as a success factor for digital ecosystems & economies",
- breaks down what defines a digital capital,
- ranks the world’s top 10,
- explores how Frankfurt became a global leader.
From the foundations of digital hubs to the often-overlooked economic power of Internet Exchanges, this deep dive reveals how infrastructure quietly drives the modern world – and how IXs have become powerful engines for shaping the future.
The study will be published on 26 June 2025, in parallel to DE-CIX’s 30th anniversary celebrations.
