APAC Business Roundtable - Accelerating AI Monetization: Powering APAC Industries with 5G-A

BACKGROUND

As Artificial Intelligence transitions from experimental use cases to a core driver of the global economy, telecom operators face a defining commercial moment: How to translate AI capabilities into immediate, scalable revenue streams within the next 6 to 12 months?

While AI presents the ultimate monetization window, 5G-Advanced (5G-A) serves as the indispensable infrastructure that makes this transition possible. Beyond simple coverage, the next wave of digital intelligence requires the deterministic latency, high uplink, and edge intelligence that only 5G-A can deliver.

On behalf of the GSMA, we are delighted to invite you to the GSMA APAC Business Roundtable – Accelerating AI Monetization: Powering APAC Industries with 5G-A, taking place during MWC Shanghai.

Why This Roundtable Matters

Unlike traditional technology forums, this roundtable is designed as a strategic match-making hub linking APAC operators directly with China’s most successful digital economy pioneers. The agenda bypasses conceptual theories to dissect hard-core commercial deployment:

• The Quickest Growth Points: Direct case sharing from leading operators on driving business growth via Token Economy, AI Calling, and Agentic B2B/B2C systems.
• The AI Ecosystem Match-Making: Interactive dialogues with top-tier AI platform leaders, LLM pioneers, and System Integrators to debate whether operators should deploy AI "out-of-the-box" or pursue deep co-creation.
• Hard ROI & Network Capabilities: A deep dive into the network readiness required to anchor physical AI, robotics, and industrial automation—identifying exactly which 5G-A capabilities unlock the highest premium value today.

Core Objectives

By bringing together the complete value chain—from network infrastructure to foundational models and enterprise buyers—this session aims to:

1. Identify and de-risk the most commercially viable AI + 5G-A monetization opportunities for your market over the next 6–12 months.
2. Extract repeatable blueprints from China’s massive-scale industrial deployments (smart logistics, automotive, and enterprise transformation).
3. Establish concrete, post-event collaborations to accelerate time-to-value for business adoption across the APAC region.
