The rise of digital industries in private and public sector

The digital transformation of enterprises across various sectors is accelerating. Between 2024 and 2030, enterprises are expected to allocate 10% of their revenues to digital transformation, creating new B2B opportunities for technology suppliers, including operators. However, the rise of digital industries is not uniform, as different sectors have unique needs and priorities. Gaining insights directly from enterprises is crucial to developing effective B2B strategies and capitalizing on the digital transformation opportunity. What are the strategic objectives, investment plans, priorities, deployment challenges, and supplier decisions of enterprises? How can the ecosystem capture opportunities?

The Global 5G Alliance Summit will take place at MWC Barcelona 2025 (3 – 6 March 2025) in GSMA Knowledge Zone in Hall 8.1 CC8.16 on Wednesday, 5 March 2025 13:30 – 16:00. This session will bring together APAC 5G Industry Community contributors, global 5G leaders, Alliances and Association to share
