GSMA

This month, we spotlight how the GSMA community is turning ambition into action – building the first industry-wide benchmark for workplace inclusion with the Voice Campaign 2026, scaling real-world telecom deployments from AI to NTN with the GSMA Foundry Innovation Report, and bringing operators and technology experts together at the GSMA Technology Summit Africa in Kigali.

You’ll also find practical guidance on how telecom leaders can build a strong business case for carbon reduction investment, an opportunity to reach 62,000 professionals through MWL’s Digital Industries event exploring real-world applications of AI and connectivity across enterprise sectors, and the latest ESA and GSMA Foundry innovation challenges supporting the development of AI‑driven NTN and 5G/6G solutions.

And as always, read on to meet the newest additions to our growing membership community. Discover who’s joined the community in our latest new member blog.

Best Regards,
