APAC 5G Leaders’ CxO Summit – 5G and Beyond

Following the first launch of scale commercial 5G networks early in 2019, commercial deployments have gained momentum with key pioneering countries around the world rolling out commercial 5G services in the last twelve months. Japan is one of these pioneering countries with its mobile operators, NTT DOCOMO, KDDI and SoftBank all deploying commercial 5G services on the 25th, 26th and 27th of March 2020, respectively. With the fourth greenfield mobile operator, Rakuten Mobile, expected to commercially launch 5G services this month based on its unique approach to network deployment, 5G is expected to play a key role in accelerating the digital transformation of consumer and enterprise sectors across verticals and the wider economy in Japan.

The GSMA with the support of MIC Japan is holding the 2nd APAC 5G Leaders’ CxO Virtual Summit, Tokyo Japan on 7 – 8 October 2020. Working together to advance the mobile industry, the GSMA APAC 5G Forum would like to invite 5G industry leaders for a focused discussion on the policy, industry and commercial opportunities and challenges of leading MNOs post 5G commercial deployment.

The summit will bring together VIP guests from government and industry to consider topics of immediate relevance related to post launch 5G commercial services covering:

• Japan’s 5G journey 6 months on
• Policy enablers for realising the full potential of 5G
• Technology enablers for 5G
• Post launch 5G Strategies and digital transformation
• Accelerating the growth of 5G ecosystem

Leading 5G MNOs and policy makers will attend this summit and contribute to the discussion and resolution of challenges of 5G market leaders and policy makers.
