The Romanian telecom operator DIGI, led by a native of Moldova, is gaining ground on its competitors in Europe

Last year, the company generated revenue of €2.22 billion, a 15% increase from the previous year.

The group’s growth strategy is being implemented by Sergey Bulgak, CEO of DIGI Communications and DIGI Romania—a native of Moldova who has led the company’s Romanian division since 2015.

Access to the largest customer network in Belgium

One of DIGI’s latest steps in its international expansion was an agreement with the Belgian postal service Bpost.

Under the five-year agreement, DIGI services will be sold at all 655 Bpost branches in Belgium. Customers will be able to sign up for mobile and fixed-line internet services directly at post offices, according to Economica.net.

Sales have already begun at 83 of Bpost’s largest branches, with further network expansion planned for the summer.

Utilizing the Bpost network demonstrates a new approach to the development of service companies: instead of building an expensive proprietary retail infrastructure, the operator gains access to an existing customer contact network.

For DIGI, this is an important step in a market where the company has so far developed sales primarily through its own digital channels, sales representatives, and about 100 partner stores.

In the Belgian market, DIGI competes with the country’s largest operators—Proximus, Orange Belgium, and Telenet.

At the end of last year, DIGI’s Belgian division had approximately 91,000 mobile customers.

“Bpost offices are located close to citizens in all regions of the country. This is fully in line with DIGI’s goal of making affordable telecommunications services accessible to everyone, wherever they may be,” said Jeroen Degadt, CEO of DIGI Belgium.

The company is moving beyond traditional telecommunications

In parallel with the development of its telecommunications business, DIGI is strengthening its position in the digital infrastructure sector.

On June 3, 2026, the company announced that its Romanian subsidiary, DIGI Romania, had signed a framework agreement with the Romanian Information Service to create a data center and an integrated platform for evaluating large language models (LLMs) focused on cybersecurity tasks.

The project could cost up to €196 million. Implementation is planned in phases over four years and includes hardware and software components.

The project is being implemented as part of the SAFE / Readiness 2030 program and reflects a broader trend: telecommunications companies are gradually becoming providers of critical digital infrastructure, including cloud solutions, data processing, and artificial intelligence technologies.

DIGI’sExpansion in Europe

Today, DIGI operates in Romania, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.

Its expansion in Belgium and the development of AI initiatives demonstrate that DIGI’s strategy extends beyond the traditional mobile and internet market.

The company aims to establish a broader presence in the European digital market, where telecommunications infrastructure is becoming the foundation for new services—from artificial intelligence to cybersecurity solutions.
