TeleGeography users who are navigating complex regulatory environments, like The European Commission, need an authoritative resource to track complicated international policies.
They require precise, granular information regarding legislation and telecommunications regulations enacted by different countries.
The European Commission, which works in blended finance, knows this well.
Closing the knowledge gap & identifying market failures
The European Commission must thoroughly understand the unique profiles of the partner countries with whom they collaborate. Because the EC's focus is on development cooperation, they must further identify where private investment is falling short, more so than where business is booming.
Because the EC team has a large workload and must be well-versed in many specific, wide-ranging international markets, they need fast, reliable global insights.
Data-based solutions
Enter TeleGeography’s GlobalComms Database.
The EC treats GlobalComms as an authoritative guide—even referring to it as their "Bible" for telecommunications. They use it to track detailed market conditions and intelligence such as available spectrum, 5G auctions, traffic, demand, and in-depth regulatory and policy information.
The impact
Because the EC is focused on development in emerging economies, they use this data somewhat differently than a traditional business might.
Instead of looking for where business is booming, they specifically look for regions with less movement. They use GlobalComms intelligence to pinpoint where private business is struggling or absent so that they know exactly where their interventions and funding would make the biggest impact. Better data, bigger impacts.
And when it comes to getting info fast? The team leans on GlobalComms’ downloadable PDF country profiles to rapidly prepare for meetings, allowing them to consistently remain experts on any given location, depending on the demands of their next big meeting or organizational initiative.
