About MWC Shanghai

MWC Shanghai is Asia’s largest and most influential event for the connectivity ecosystem, where global leaders and innovators share their vision for the future of connectivity.

According to GSMA’s "The Mobile Economy Asia Pacific 2024" report, the mobile industry is expected to contribute over $1 trillion to the Asia Pacific economy by 2030. With 5G adoption accelerating, the region’s growth is set to outpace the global average.

China’s mobile sector is advancing rapidly in AI and computing power. Operators are launching both general AI models and tailored solutions, harnessing their networks to empower a wide range of industries.
