Cellnex Telecom is an independent telecom infrastructure operator, the leader in Europe. The company is based in Barcelona and has been present in France since 2016. Their market is extremely dynamic in France. Concretly, Paris Region is one of the main partners, one of the first reasons why they decide to set up in the region.

Currently, Cellnex has several thousand telecom sites all over France, local data centers, and thousands of kilometers of deployed fiber networks. In addition, Cellnex was selected by the Société du Grand Paris in September 2021 to deploy an indoor DAS (Distributed Antenna System) network for lines 16 and 17 of the Grand Paris Express which are planned for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

In this context, Choose Paris Region introduced them to the deeptech ecosystem in Paris Region and connected them to the stakeholders in the region's economic development (competitiveness clusters, institutions and local authorities, innovative companies, etc.), thereby they have been an strategic element to boost Cellnex’s local presence. The RDA was able to facilitate this partneship though their high-level knowledge in deep tech and support service they offer in the field.

Besides fostering the telecom industry of the region by the presence and investment of one of the technology leaders in Europe, the region will also get benefit in terms of employment. They recruit a wide range of profiles in telecoms, data or fiber businesses, as well as in real estate and more traditional support functions.
