The Euro 50

The Euro 50 is a special issue of Digital TV Europe that reflects and honours the achievements of individuals working across the pay-TV and broadband industries. An annual publication, now in its seventh year, The Euro 50 celebrates the industry’s ‘movers and shakers’ from the last 12 months. It searches out, through a process of nomination and research, those who have all demonstrated outstanding leadership and vision in their fields and made a significant contribution to the strength of their organisation or the industry itself.
