What keeps the internet alive beneath the surface?
Over 99% of global data flows silently through subsea fiber optic cables, powering everything from cloud computing to AI.
Yet, the talent driving this invisible infrastructure is rapidly aging.
In this InterGlobix Magazine exclusive, SubOptic Foundation President Erick Contag and subsea expert Lynsey Thomas share how the Foundation is tackling the talent gap through global education, mentorship, and the launch of groundbreaking academic programs like the GDI Certificate with UC Berkeley and a graduate track with the University of Genoa.
Discover how the future of global connectivity is being shaped: one cable, one student, one leader at a time.
