e& and 4iG Group have announced the signing of a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore collaboration across key areas of digital infrastructure.

4iG Group is a leading provider of integrated telecommunications services in Hungary and the Western Balkans.

Hatem Dowidar, Group Chief Executive Officer, e&, said the partnership aims to strengthen cross-regional digital infrastructure that supports economic growth, resilience, and innovation. He emphasized that the collaboration reflects e&’s commitment to purposeful innovation and using infrastructure to unlock human potential.

Gellért Jászai, Chairman of 4iG Group, stated that partnering with e& opens new possibilities for collaboration along fast-growing digital corridors linking Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. He noted that the alliance will focus on innovation, infrastructure development, and shared investment opportunities.

The MoU outlines plans for future cooperation in the planning, development, and operation of advanced connectivity and data infrastructure. This includes potential joint initiatives such as:

• Subsea and terrestrial networks
• Large-scale data centres and strategic digital infrastructure projects

The preliminary scope includes a jointly developed data centre in Albania to support subsea data traffic. The partnership also considers expanding digital infrastructure in Hungary through e& PPF Telecom.

Moreover, both parties plan to collaborate on subsea cable projects connecting the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. These initiatives aim to meet the digital needs of millions across the regions and support global trade.

The agreement combines e&’s global telecom infrastructure expertise with 4iG’s regional experience in transit networks across the Western Balkans.

This MoU is part of a broader effort by 4iG Group to deepen UAE-Hungary ties. Other recent agreements include strategic MoUs with EDGE Group and Mubadala Investment Company.

These partnerships support cooperation in sectors such as digital infrastructure, defence technologies, and strategic investments. They aim to build flexible, sustainable, and innovation-driven trade alliances.
