Representing mobile operators and organisations across the mobile ecosystem and adjacent industries, the GSMA delivers for its members across three broad pillars: Connectivity for Good, Industry Solutions and Events.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connectivity for Good engages members, governments and civil society, to advance positive policy and spectrum outcomes, facilitate digital innovation to reduce inequalities in our world, and tackle today’s biggest societal challenges such as digital inclusion, climate change and sustainability.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industry Solutions supports the technology and interoperability that make mobile work. For instance, we assist the industry\u2019s development in areas such as 5G, Mobile IoT, fraud and security, through our projects, working groups and other collaborative activities. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While our services offer data, resources and tools to help businesses in the ecosystem work together more effectively, ultimately leading to better customer experiences on mobile devices.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our events provide successful ways of bringing the ecosystem and adjacent industries together, to make strong business connections and drive positive impact. From the world\u2019s largest and most influential connectivity event, MWC, in Barcelona, Shanghai, Kigali and Doha to the growing M360 series that has a more regional focus and Nova Future Summit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
