The GSMA Foundry is all about solving the most pressing challenges of the day in connected technology – a forum where organisations of all sizes can come together to pioneer new approaches and make lasting contributions to the industry. At MWC Barcelona 2022 I was delighted to host the inaugural GSMA Foundry Networking event<\/a>, which recognised the initiative’s milestone achievements to date and outlined our vision for the year ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
