Q3 Connected Manufacturing and Production Community Meeting

Q3 Connected Manufacturing and Production Community Meeting

Start: Tuesday 8 September 2026 12:00

End: Tuesday 8 September 2026 13:30

Venue: Online (Microsoft Teams)

Join us for the next GSMA Connected Manufacturing & Production Community meeting as we bring together manufacturers, mobile operators, technology providers and industry experts to exchange practical insights and help shape the future direction of the community. 

This quarter’s meeting features two technology showcases from The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), highlighting how advanced connectivity can support industrial transformation: 

Technology Showcase 1: Remote Monitoring and Control 

Discover how connected technologies can enable the remote operation, monitoring and optimisation of industrial equipment, including in isolated or hazardous environments, improving flexibility, responsiveness and operational efficiency. 

Technology Showcase 2: Extended Reality (XR) 

Explore how XR technologies are being applied in industrial settings to support training, maintenance, collaboration and operational excellence, and the role connectivity plays in enabling these experiences. 

Smart Manufacturing Unpacked – new tool 

Introducing the new interactive tool developed by GSMA to demonstrate the role of Industrial IoT (IIoT) in smart manufacturing. Designed to support discussions with manufacturers at different stages of their digital transformation journey, the tool will help illustrate how connectivity, sensors, analytics and automation can work together to deliver business value.

Steering Committee Nominees and Community Priorities 

Meet the nominees for the Connected Manufacturing & Production Steering Committee and hear how they can contribute to the future direction of the community. You will also have the chance to share your views on the topics, priorities and activities that should shape our work over the next 12–18 months.

Looking Ahead to MWC Barcelona 

As preparations begin for MWC Barcelona, we’ll share the latest updates on opportunities for the manufacturing community to get involved, including speaker participation, demonstrations and other ways to showcase industrial innovation to a global audience. 

Whether you’re looking to learn from real-world deployments, influence future community activities, discover new technologies or connect with potential partners, this meeting is your opportunity to be part of the conversation. 

The Connected Manufacturing & Production Community exists to enable cross-industry collaboration, knowledge sharing and the adoption of mobile-enabled technologies across manufacturing and production environments. The meeting brings together stakeholders from across the manufacturing and mobile ecosystems to share experiences, identify opportunities and accelerate digital transformation.
