Bulgarian Internet exchange operator BIX.BG has deepened its partnership with DE-CIX, with the global interconnection provider acquiring a majority stake in the Sofia-based exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Existing BIX.BG customers will continue to access the same services under current terms and service levels while gaining access to new capabilities introduced through the collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DE-CIX plans to expand the Sofia ecosystem by attracting additional international networks from its global community, increasing reach, resilience and interconnection opportunities. The agreement also strengthens BIX.BG management and positions the company as a subsidiary within DE-CIX Group AG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move extends DE-CIX\u2019s footprint across the Balkans, complementing its exchanges in Istanbul and Athens. It represents the next phase of a long-standing relationship focused on joint development of products and services. As part of this effort, DE-CIX will introduce enterprise connectivity offerings in Sofia, including cloud connectivity and cloud routing solutions designed to support digital transformation and hybrid infrastructure strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivo Ivanov, CEO, DE-CIX, said the investment reflects confidence in BIX.BG and the Bulgarian market, highlighting the strong partnership between the two organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dimo Nikolov, CEO, BIX.BG, said joining the DE-CIX ecosystem will broaden opportunities for connected networks and help meet growing demand for advanced connectivity services in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both companies emphasise continuity for customers while accelerating innovation, scale and international integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The partnership is expected to enhance regional digital infrastructure, improve latency and support data-intensive applications, positioning Sofia as a stronger interconnection hub for Southeast Europe and neighbouring markets. This marks a milestone for both organisations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
