What euNetworks Group does

euNetworks Group is a pan-European bandwidth infrastructure provider founded in 2002 and headquartered in London, owning and operating fiber networks across 53 cities in 17 countries. The company operates 18 metropolitan city networks connected by 6 long-haul Super Highway routes spanning 85,300 km of intercity lit fiber, 3,600 km of metro capacity, 2,800 fiber-connected locations, and direct connectivity to more than 600 data centers. Notable technical assets include over 200 km of deployed hollowcore fiber for ultra-low-latency applications, 6.5-hour mean time to repair, and a 29-day average customer deployment time. The company serves three primary verticals: financial services and capital markets (with exclusive or flagship connectivity partnerships with Euronext, LSE Group, Deutsche Boerse, BME Madrid, Nasdaq OMX Stockholm, SIX Zurich, and ICE Basildon), hyperscalers and cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google, Oracle, IBM, Salesforce via 180+ cloud on-ramps, plus the AWS European Sovereign Cloud partnership), and large enterprises and carriers requiring dedicated fiber connectivity.

The product portfolio is structured in layers: physical-layer offerings (Dark Fibre, Wavelengths, Ethernet, Internet, Metro Networks, Super Highways), managed services (euTrade for ultra-low-latency financial connectivity, Private Connect MOFN for single-customer private networks, Scalable Backbone offering pay-as-you-grow 100G-400G capacity), cloud and security services (Cloud Connect, Quantum Shield for post-quantum cryptography), and digital enablement tools (Pathfinder, Connected Portal, Connected API implementing MPLIFY LSO Sonata standards). The business model is built on long-term (3-7 year) subscription contracts with monthly recurring charges based on bandwidth capacity and distance; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account teams across European cities, supplemented by data center partner referrals and exchange channel partnerships.

Ownership is held by a consortium of institutional investors following the August 2024 €2.1 billion equity recapitalisation led by Stonepeak with participation from Mercer, Aware Super, IMCO, and APG; the ultimate parent is euNetworks Group Holdings Limited (Jersey). Leadership underwent a near-complete refresh in 2025-2026, with new appointments to the CEO (Marisa Trisolino, May 2025), CFO (Giancarlo Ferro, March 2026), CRO (Nick Walden, December 2025), and Commercial Executive (Guillaume Pasquier, May 2026) roles. The company holds ISO 27001 certification and aligns product development with EU cybersecurity frameworks including DORA and NIS2.
