Deutsche Telekom is one of the world’s leading integrated telecommunications companies, serving more than 261 million mobile customers, 25 million fixed-network lines, and 22 million broadband customers worldwide. With operations in over 50 countries and a workforce of approximately 200,000 employees as of December 31, 2024, the company generated revenue of €115.6 billion in the 2024 financial year.

This transformation is guided by the company’s ambition to become the world’s leading digital telco, built on the strong foundation of its core business: the operation and sale of high-performing networks and connections.
With its strong presence across Europe and the United States, Deutsche Telekom is uniquely positioned to lead in connectivity, innovation, and digital services. By driving digitalization across all areas of the business, the company is laying the foundation for sustainable growth while delivering reliable, future-ready solutions to customers worldwide.
“We often talk past each other, forgetting that true dialogue starts with listening. That's why I'm excited about the Berlin Global Dialogue. It's a chance to find common ground and foster positive change, especially for the Internet. The Internet should benefit everyone, not just a few. This requires steps toward unity, not division.” - Timotheus Höttges “Collaboration turns global complexity into shared success”
