MWC26 Barcelona Smart Mobility Summit Catch up

A $78 billion B2B revenue opportunity for telecoms is emerging as connectivity becomes central to the future of mobility. This key theme set the tone for the MWC Connected Industries Smart Mobility Summit at MWC26.

Each year, the summit brings together exceptional voices from across the mobility ecosystem, offering access to industry-leading speakers you will not find anywhere else. At MWC26, it went further than ever before, placing intelligence, autonomy, AI, and connectivity at the center of the conversation, not as concepts, but as real-world deployments already shaping mobility today.

Global mobility leaders from 5GAA, Accenture, Airbus, Amazon Leo, HARMAN, Twinny, USDOT, XM2 and more shared how connectivity and innovation are transforming the industry. As travel becomes increasingly driven by advanced technologies, discussions highlighted how 5G, private networks, non-terrestrial networks, network APIs and AI are enhancing efficiency, safety and sustainability across road, rail, air and sea.

The event reinforced the importance of uniting the ecosystem, breaking through barriers, and accelerating industry progress. From startups to global leaders, participants gained valuable insights into why connectivity is critical to advancing Smart Mobility.
