00:00It's clear, the momentum of this region is unstoppable.

00:04And that is why Doha is the perfect place for our newest MWC.

00:11AI-powered networks, 5G innovations, smart city infrastructure and IoT.

00:18GSMA's MWC series has arrived in Qatar and the atmosphere is electric.

00:24More than 400 billion euros.

00:27That's how much GSMA is forecasting for the mobile sector to contribute to the MENA economy by 2030.

00:35Can you tell us firstly, what does this expansion mean to GSMA, but also to Qatar and the region?

00:42A region you happen to know very well.

00:43The region is moving and so there's a lot of energy.

00:46Digital transformation is happening here and over the years, I would say the GCC region first

00:53and the MENA region more broadly have become, I would say, top leaders as well.

00:59So being here is natural for GSMA because we get to be part of these conversations that are extremely dynamic.

01:07It's clear that the world of connectivity is moving and evolving so fast.

01:11What is MWC and GSMA's approach to make sure that the global digital divide narrows and not widens?

01:18Today, there's 3 billion people who are within reach of a mobile signal.

01:24So they're in a coverage area, but they don't connect to the mobile internet.

01:30And so it's important to bring them in.

01:32And we know what needs to be done.

01:34We need to get them affordable smartphones.

01:36We need to give them skills and training.

01:38They would contribute $3 trillion to the world's economies.

01:42It's actually a wasted opportunity for the whole planet, for all these people,

01:46to have access to digital tools to improve their lives and the economy.

01:50Dubai-based digital operator Vion is going a step further by boosting connectivity

01:56to a population facing major challenges.

02:00The Nasdaq-listed firm launched a partnership with Starlink

02:03to provide satellite-to-mobile service to millions of people in Ukraine.

02:07This is the first time this is happening in Europe.

02:09This constellation actually uses our spectrum and directly emits 4G coverage.

02:17So that's why any phone with 4G capabilities will be able to just see the sky and get connected.

02:24And in the first 24 hours after we activated the service,

02:28almost half a million people utilize this service.

02:32MWC25 Doha introduced an international platform called 4YFN to the region,

02:38a network of organizations aiming to support startups and entrepreneurs.

02:43It's where venture capital firm Utopia and its partner, Qatar Development Bank,

02:48launched Qatar's first AI-focused venture studio, simply called The Studio.

02:53We are co-building with domain experts, as well as re-engineering existing ventures

02:59to take them from idea stage to series A in less than 24 months.

03:04So the venture studio is going to do these two things,

03:07by providing all AI and tech stack support as infrastructure to these domain experts,

03:13as well as providing commercialization support to go-to-market support,

03:19so that we can actually expand and facilitate that scalability for these companies across our geographies.

03:264YFN's pool of promising young founders is also where one of the world's most decorated football clubs,

03:34FC Barcelona, is scouting for talent through its sports innovation arm, Barca Innovation Hub.

03:41We have right now 16 portfolio companies with the ability to touch in any single corner of the club,

03:47from the sports performance, but also on the business side of things,

03:50treating our fans and our athletes with the best technology that we can develop.

03:54Other than startups, robots and the latest innovations in telecommunications,

04:00MWC Doha also puts a spotlight on the future of mobility and smart city infrastructure.

04:06Cities will run on autonomous systems across the world.

04:09It's not only mobility, it's also healthcare, it's education.

04:12It will touch upon every single aspect of our life.

04:15On mobility, for example, we'll have AVs and autonomous metros and buses

04:20as the backbone of our mobility ecosystems.

04:23That's what we look forward to here in the region.

04:25Driving the engine of growth in any industry requires the conviction of governments and leaders

04:31at the forefront of change, who can implement swift policies to keep pace with the rapid developments in technology.

04:38Historically in the GCC, governments have been the main drivers around any type of development, innovation,

04:44and even digital agendas.

04:45Now, with the pace at which technology is changing and certain new techs coming in,

04:49I think governments are very much realizing that there is significant benefit to bring in the private sector

04:54to support them as part of these advances.
