# [The Man With a Golden Interconnectivity Ranking](https://resources.telegeography.com/the-man-with-a-golden-interconnectivity-ranking)

Many locations around the world are clamoring to become the next great hub. But before we can identify successful practices to promote digital hubs, we first must decide how to *measure* that connectivity.

*What role do submarine cables play? How about electricity and green power? And government policies ... can those even be quantified?*

At [Platform Global 2024](https://www.platform-markets.com/antibes/), TeleGeography VP of Research Tim Stronge took to the stage to tackle these questions.

But this was no average presentation.

Hosted in Antibes—the setting of several James Bond sagas—this was a *mission briefing *with the following objectives:

1. Identify targets
2. Acquire Q-Branch tech
3. Pinpoint communications nodes
4. Analyze government threats
5. Find sources of power

Confidential rankings were spilled. Secret data sets came to light. And, of course, a series of cool maps was unveiled.

If you missed it, you’re in luck. Tim’s full slide deck—if you choose to accept it—is now available to download here 👇
