- Climate & Sustainability Summit
China has taken a leadership role in the fight against climate change, with many pioneering clean tech innovations. However, scaling these innovations requires decisive action, investment and collaboration across industries.
Join us at this high-impact summit, where we will unveil the 2025 edition of our flagship climate report - Mobile Net Zero: State of the Industry on Climate Action. We’ll look in detail at the cutting-edge insights this report provides on China’s progress toward achieving its sustainability goals — and the critical next steps needed to accelerate the transition to net zero.
- eSIM Summit
The eSIM has been a key and consistent enabler of digital services over recent years and is set to play a crucial role in achieving ubiquitous connectivity. GSMAi estimates that there will be 1 billion eSIM smartphone connections by 2025 and by 2028, over 50% of smartphone connections will use eSIM.
In this summit, industry experts will explore how eSIM technology is driving digital transformation and the progress being made in both consumer and IoT markets. They’ll look at the challenges encountered and those that still lie ahead in the Chinese market, to ensure this technology can be produced at scale, operate securely and meet the needs of a dynamic eSIM ecosystem.
