Sofia Connect CEO Yuliy Nushev attended Submarine Networks World 2026 (23–24 September, Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore) — the leading annual event for the global subsea telecoms industry. The focus in Singapore was IP Transit, DWDM and low-latency connectivity between the Middle East, the Caucasus and Europe, and how Sofia Connect extends subsea reach into the SEE corridor.
