The much-anticipated Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, scheduled to take place in Barcelona, Spain from 3rd to 6th March 2025, is gearing up to be a pivotal event in the technology industry. Organised by the GSMA, this annual gathering of business leaders, policymakers, and innovators promises to influence policy, business, and technology development.
During a pre-event press conference held on 29 January 2025 in Barcelona, key highlights for the upcoming MWC25 were unveiled. The event's theme, "Connect. Converge. Create," underscores MWC25 as a unique convergence of minds to shape the future.
One of the main focuses of MWC25 will be the evolution of 5G, with a particular emphasis on Release 17 and beyond. The aim is to create a versatile, reliable, and ubiquitous network that can serve a broad range of industries and users. The objective is to unlock return on investment (ROI) from 5G through new revenue-generating services, cost reductions, strategic partnerships, regulation, and spectrum management. This transformation is expected to extend beyond telecom operators and impact the industries they serve.
Another key area of focus at MWC25 will be the growth in Internet of Things (IoT), with over 15 billion connected devices expected soon. The focus will be on collaborative efforts between various players in the tech industry to build open, seamless, sustainable, and secure networks.
MWC25 is positioned as a global stage offering deeper discussions and bolder showcases compared to previous years, with the involvement of more innovators and visionaries to shape future industries and societies.
The Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) will kick off MWC25 with sessions focused on the future of European telecommunications, 5G and 6G technologies, and significant demos from over 30 SNS JU projects.
Overall, MWC25 is shaping up to be a pivotal event focused on advancing 5G to the next phase, fostering connectivity through collaboration, and driving innovation across multiple sectors.
