Digital Inclusion

Since the merger of Eutelsat and OneWeb, our integrated GEO-LEO capabilities now offer resilient hybrid global and regional services that promote sustainable development. These advancements will unlock new applications, benefiting our customers, partners, and the broader ecosystem while addressing connectivity challenges in the most remote locations. This marks the beginning of our renewed mission to be the most trusted partner in satellite connectivity, driving progress and bridging the digital divide with a commitment to societal responsiveness.

We recognize the significance of addressing the disparities in access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on a global scale. As part of our CSR mission, we are dedicated to pursuing extensive efforts to overcome the “digital divide” that hinders individuals and communities from benefiting from the opportunities presented by broadband access and satellite television broadcasting.

Eutelsat reached a major milestone with 1 million people connected in Sub-Saharan Africa, two years ahead of the Partner2Connect Digital Coalition pledge submitted in June 2022 and backed by the ITU. As of 30 June 2025, more than 1.3 million users have been connected. A new connectivity target is currently being defined in line with the Group’s operational ramp-up and commercial strategy.

Eutelsat provides free-to-air channels worldwide, broadening access to essential services like news, education, and culture. This initiative aims to make essential content available to global audiences without any subscription fees, thereby increasing public access to information and entertainment.

As of 30 June 2025, the Group was broadcasting over 6,400 TV channels including more than 2,300 free-to-air channels, accessible without subscription on its satellites (i.e., close to 40% of all channels broadcast as of that date), to an audience of over one billion viewers, mainly in Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Africa.
