Give your organisation a voice!
Within the digital ecosystem, policy changes, new rules and laws create both risks and opportunities that often materially affect your bottom line and operations, your competitive position and your business sustainability.
Most of these changes are shaped at European level and the policymaking process offers multiple opportunities for stakeholders to provide their input. It is therefore of utmost importance to have your organisation’s voice represented during the process.
We are a members’ association and the association lives through and with its members.
You are ecta and your voice counts in setting our priorities and achieving our joint objectives. The more we are, the better we represent the industry and its competitive dynamic.
Those who oppose pro-competitive policy and regulation are strong and no one else will better promote the common interests of challenger telecoms operators and digital solutions providers than ecta.
