Yes, Hilco Global has effectively integrated 6connect's main business. Rather than a standard corporate acquisition of the entire company entity, Hilco Global's division, IPv4.Global, acquired 6connect's flagship ProVision product suite and the 6connect team joined their operations. [1, 2] ## ➡️ Deal Breakdown * * The Acquisition: IPv4.Global (a division of Hilco Streambank / Hilco Global) acquired the ProVision IPAM (IP Address Management) and DDI solution suite directly from 6connect. [2, 3] * The Team Merger: Following the product suite acquisition, the 6connect team officially "joined" IPv4.Global to continue developing and scaling the software under the Hilco umbrella. [1] * The Relaunch: In late 2025, IPv4.Global officially relaunched the ProVision network automation platform, backed by Hilco Global's capital and infrastructure. [4] * ## 📊 Strategic Rationale Before the acquisition, Hilco’s IPv4.Global and 6connect were already close technology partners (jointly developing tools like the ReView IP address audit platform). Buying the ProVision suite allowed Hilco to transform IPv4.Global from a strict IPv4 transaction marketplace into a comprehensive network automation and IP resource management SaaS provider.

Does anyone know if it’s true that 6connect was acquired by Hilco? She also registered using 6connect’s AS number, which made me wonder whether she might be involved in peering-related topics.
I’m also not sure whether Giulia, as an Account Executive, is responsible for peering-related topics.
Best regards,
Carolin

Dear Giulia,
Thank you for your interest in the European Peering Forum.
Unfortunately, your registration for the forum has been declined because you are not peering at any of the four EPF host IXPs and/or the guest IXP. If your company has concrete deployment plans at one of the host exchanges you are also welcome to attend EPF. Please verify. Also EPF is a networking event for the peering community, not a commercial event. As such, any commercial/sales personnel from the participating networks are discouraged from registering.
If you disagree with our decision, please send an email to info@peering- forum.eu <mailto:info@peering-forum.eu>.
We apologise for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
EPF Hosts
