The digital infrastructure powering our connected world remains largely invisible to most of us – but the way it’s bought and sold is being completely transformed.

In this episode of Uplink, Michael Reid is joined by Ben Edmond, founder and CEO of Connectbase, to unpack how his company is building the world’s first true marketplace for connectivity. With 4.2 million unique quotes processed every month and 1.9 trillion rows of location-based connectivity data, Connectbase is redefining how providers and enterprises access real-time intelligence.

Ben shares how Connectbase is streamlining what was once a manual, fragmented process and how the platform is expanding globally, with Europe emerging as the fastest-growing region. His ultimate vision: a global marketplace where connectivity is available “where you need it, when you need it, the way you need it”, all with unmatched simplicity and speed.

Discover how Connectbase is modernizing digital infrastructure after decades of spreadsheets, emails, and manual workflows.
