2021: Scaling Up

The over-arching theme for our events programme and other aspects of our work programme for 2021 – was the concept of Scaling Up. Many of the independent network operators in membership of INCA are working hard to scale their operations in order to better meet the ambitious targets for the deployment of full fibre and other gigabit-capable technologies. The entire industry needs to substantially grow its capability in order to connect homes and business at anything like the pace required.

INCA Conference 2021
Scaling Up: Creating the Gigabit Future

Our main 2021 conference event ran over November 3rd and 4th at the National Conference Centre. Over the course of the two days our extensive programme addressed many key issues for the 'Altnet' sector and brought tighter over 300 key decision-makers.

We also produced a series of short video interviews with some of the people and organisations participating in the conference. You can view all of the videos from the 2021 conference here.

An extensive portfolio of photographs from the conference, along with slide decks from presenters is available to INCA Members here (you need to be logged in to the website to access these resources).


The first event in the Scaling Up series ran on March 9th, and focussed on the key people challenges of scaling up. As the first speaker at the event reported, DCMS modelling suggests that the sector needs to grow by a factor of 2x to 3x over the next 3 to 4 years in order to meet the ambitious government targets.
