A Bermuda delegation will join global leaders from the telecoms, digital infrastructure and information and communications technology sectors for discussions on connectivity, innovation and global infrastructure next week in Hawaii.

Subsea cable expert Fiona Beck is leading the Bermuda Business Development Agency team at the Pacific Telecommunications Council’s annual conference, starting on Sunday in Honolulu.

As a BDA adviser, Ms Beck has been a key leader in the development of technology and infrastructure to help Bermuda realise its potential as an Atlantic Digital Port.

The Submarine Communications Cables Act 2020, created a clear, investor-friendly regulatory framework for the industry.

During PTC’26, Ms Beck will co-lead an international submarine cable workshop exploring how subsea networks link markets, support resilient digital ecosystems and underpin global data flows.

She will highlight Bermuda’s regulatory approach and its impact on attracting infrastructure investment as a leading hub for transatlantic digital connection.

Ms Beck has decades of experience and established the framework which led to Google’s announcement of two transatlantic cables, Nuvem and Sol, which will run through Bermuda.

These developments will also connect the US to Portugal and Spain and open the door for future Bermuda partnerships.

The BDA said: “In addition to advising the BDA, and previously, Google, Fiona serves on the board of four public companies listed on Nasdaq and the London and Australian Stock Exchanges.

“She also formerly served as the CEO of Southern Cross Cable Network and president of Sub Optic.”

Ms Beck commented: “Bermuda’s momentum in subsea cable infrastructure reflects the power of clear regulation, long-term vision and meaningful global collaboration.

“Being among the world leaders in global connectivity at PTC provides Bermuda a chance to continue that growth by forging connections with the very same stakeholders that direct global subsea networks and explore how our jurisdiction can further embed itself in global network flows.”

The BDA said they also had representatives at Submarine Networks World in Singapore last September.
