Digital infrastructure has been at the heart of social and economic progress in Europe for the better part of the last three decades. Today, nearly half a billion people across Europe are connected to the mobile internet, predominantly through high-speed 4G and 5G networks. Mobile technologies and services now generate around 5% of GDP across Europe, a contribution that amounts to almost \u20ac1.1 trillion of economic value added. 5G, in particular, is expected to benefit most sectors of the European economy, adding around \u20ac164 billion of economic value by 2030. However, achieving further growth beyond this will be challenging within the constraints of the current regulatory environment.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Alongside 5G, key trends shaping the mobile ecosystem in the region include GSMA Open Gateway which is gaining traction, aerial connectivity, and driving AI transformation responsibly. Download the report to find out more.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
