ANGA Der Breitbandverband

The organisation operates as a sector association (eingetragener Verein) for the German broadband industry, creating value by coordinating member interests, representing them in policy and regulatory processes, and reducing transaction and legal costs via model licence contracts and other shared frameworks. Its role as a central industry body also supports knowledge sharing, networking and collective positioning of broadband, cable and fibre operators and related vendors.

Through a subsidiary company, it extends this model into a commercial events business, running a congress and exhibition for broadband, media and connectivity. Here it creates value by aggregating industry stakeholders in one venue, facilitating business development, technical exchange and policy dialogue. The association structure underpins long-term sector representation, while the events arm captures short-term, market-based revenues around annual trade shows and congress content.

ANGA Der Breitbandverband is a German broadband industry association (eingetragener Verein) representing around 160 companies in the national broadband, cable and fibre ecosystem. It acts as an advocacy and coordination body, provides model licence contracts and other member services, and is the parent organisation of a commercial events subsidiary that runs a major trade fair and congress for broadband, media and connectivity.

The association’s economic model is based on membership fees and related services for member companies, combined with event revenues generated by its subsidiary from a large congress-messe. Paying customers are member network operators and related broadband companies on the association side, and exhibitors, sponsors and paying attendees on the event side, primarily within the German and wider European broadband and media infrastructure sector.
