Session Description

If you attend MWC Shanghai 2025, or even follow it from afar, it’s because you know MWC events bring together innovators, business leaders and some of the most prominent figures in connectivity to discuss the future of mobility and the breadth of opportunities across the mobile and tech ecosystems. From AI and 5G, to cloud, enterprise digital transformation and NTNs, it’s all on display. China has become a fast innovator in many of these technologies, so what we see here is often a sign of things to come elsewhere.

Which announcements were exciting?
What was surprising and what was expected?
What did we learn this year?

These are the exact questions industry analysts try to address for their customers. At the close of MWC Shanghai 2025, join us as we convene some of the smartest expert industry analysts to share their thoughts on what happened during the week and what it means for the rest of the year.
