  • Why is social impact key to the future growth of the mobile industry?
  • What are the global megatrends shaping the landscape of the global economy and digital future?
  • Why is trust and corporate transparency critical to succeed in the digital age?
  • How do you implement the ‘triple bottom line’ successfully, to secure a prosperous and environmentally sustainable future for your business?

Global megatrends such as climate action and reducing inequality are transforming the world around us; disrupting the traditional landscape. Recognizing why doing good is good for business, delivering strategies encompassing long-term competitive financial returns, and concurrently generating positive societal and environmental impact are becoming a business imperative. With 5G, AI and big data ahead of us, we will explore how the mobile industry is embracing societal challenges to drive the next wave of sustainable growth.

Hear from mobile industry leaders and partners on how to embed sustainability and trust into the epicentre of strategic business frameworks, delivering a positive impact on society balanced with business success. Speakers will showcase current megatrends, and the value of doing business differently through cross-industry collaboration and why fostering a culture of trust is essential in building a prosperous and inclusive digital future for all.
