The MENA Telecom Tower industry: a new frontier for towercos
At the 6th annual Meetup MENA, there was a clear message from industry leaders – the tower model has proven itself as the go-to solution for operators to manage their network infrastructure needs; with a wave of M&A driving towerco ownership to nearly 30% in MENA, the focus now switches towards portfolio transfer, structural upgrades, operational management and driving tenancy growth.
2025 will bring new questions to the table; which MNOs will be next to bring their towers to market, and will carve-outs prove to be the method of choice as MNOs look to retain value creation? Can towercos prove resilient in some of the regions more challenging markets, while in others evolving the business model to support customers beyond macro towers?
Join us next year as we explore the next stage of towerco growth and activity in the worlds’ frontier towerco region!
