GSMA Summits @MWC Shanghai 2024
The GSMA is a member organisation representing and supporting the work of hundreds of connectivity organisations. In helping to strive towards common goals and foster innovation and growth within our industry, the GSMA brings together expert speakers and thought leaders at a series of summits at MWC events. Looking at today and tomorrow’s pressing technology challenges, new standards and systems, questions of business and engineering, these summits are your opportunity to speak and present your organisation in front of an eager, targeted group of technology experts and buyers.
eSIM Summit – A New Era of Innovation
China could be one of the world’s largest IoT market, the eSIM technology is driving innovation in the context of IoT and M2M Market. The eSIM is already simplifying the process to connect and manage network connected devices.
By using the eSIM Technology, IoT Devices (e.g. connected cards, smart metering…) can be remotely provisioned with several operators profiles that will allow the IoT devices to be globally connected which is required for the IoT market. Certainly, eSIM technology facilitates seamless global connectivity. The set of applications for IoT solutions is unlimited.
This summit will be leading the development of eSIM technology in China. This new eSIM development in China will start a new era of innovation in eSIM technology.
Key Items:
- eSIM Market in Asia
- GSMA eSIM Services
- eSIM Innovation
- Global connectivity on a single eSIM
- Real-world eSIM IoT and M2M deployments
- Reliable eSIM connectivity service

Satellite Communication
Satellite constellations have gained significant attention in recent years. Companies like SpaceX's Starlink, OneWeb, and Amazon's Project Kuiper are deploying large constellations of LEO satellites to provide global broadband internet coverage. Satellite communication is witnessing increased collaboration between traditional satellite operators, telecommunications companies, and technology giants.
GSMA Intelligence NTN / Satellite Summit
Apple’s iPhone 14 with satellite connectivity signalled the transformative growth of the satellite industry. Alongside the expanding coverage from LEO operators like Starlink and OneWeb, the emergence of the direct-to-device model and formalization of non-terrestrial networks in 3GPP standards, telco-satellite partnerships have momentum to drive increased coverage – and revenues.
Join us in this new Summit as we explore:
- The top strategic priorities and emerging potential of satellite networks to revolutionize global connectivity, drive substantial revenue impact across consumer and B2B/IoT segments and reshape the competitive dynamics within the satellite industry
- Strategic priorities for satellite integration in mobile networks (4G and 5G)
- Technological advances at the chipset and device level
- Viable business models in telco-satellite partnerships
- Impact of satellite on internet access, customer adoption and revenue impact
- Use cases and deployments for enterprise
Smart Mobility Summit
All clear for takeoff: China’s mid-low attitude economy is booming
There's no doubt that China's mid-low altitude economy, which encompasses a wide range of commercial activities carried out within the airspace below 1,000 metres, is booming. With regulators and government policy backing in place, the sector is expected to expand to more than 140 million by 2026, according to a report by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) affiliated research institute. In Asia, Japan has committed to launching eVtol commercial flights for the 2025 World Expo in Osaka. South Korea also plans to introduce commercial air taxi services in 2025. Companies throughout the world are optimistic about this thriving market potential.
Drone delivery of parcels and flying taxis for everyday commutes are just a few examples of the many possibilities that are expected to benefit greatly from this strong demand. Many believe that the mid-low attitude economy will transform transportation, logistics, manufacturing, and aviation operations. The continuous improvement of support services for mid-low altitude flights, such as more automated permission processes and air traffic management, as well as initiatives to improve the uncrewed aircraft certification system, are key drivers of the growth.
In this session, we will explore the mid-low attitude economy's potential and how mobile operators may help boost this growing business. Experts in the area will lead lively conversations, discussing practical case studies, potential business models and sharing firsthand expertise with the audience.
From fantasy to reality: The future of electrification and self-driving vehicles
For years, automakers around the world have promised an electrified and self-driving future, which is now becoming a reality. The APAC Electric Vehicle Charging Station Market is predicted to grow from USD 11.41 billion in 2024 to USD 37.89 billion by 2029*. In China, electric vehicles (EVs) accounted for 37% of the new car market in 2023**. The country is expanding its automobile sector's horizons by viewing it as more than simply transportation, leveraging artificial intelligence and data to propel the industry into a new era.
As autonomy, connectivity, electrification, and sustainability become the industry's primary focus, the concept of a "smart vehicle" goes beyond the car itself to encompass smart production, smart infrastructure, and smart networking behind the scenes. Regulation, technology, and commercial developments are accelerating the development of electrification and self-driving cars, to transform them into fully intelligent and connected vehicles.
It is time for mobility companies and suppliers to review their strategies and stay up with the rapidly changing environment. Join us in this session to learn about the new age of autonomous driving and electric vehicle development. Industry experts will give unique insights into innovative connectivity solutions, commercial opportunities, and standardization that have led to significant industry development.
