New Frontiers
Where will technology take us next?
Welcome to New Frontiers.
Out here you’ll find audacious, challenging, transformative technology – mind-expanding ideas that don’t just push the boundaries of innovation, they smash right through them.
In this immersive, future-focused space we’ll investigate breakthrough technologies poised to profoundly impact connectivity, industry and our daily lives.
Offering a curated programme of demos, speakers, summits and targeted networking, New Frontiers is designed as both a platform for discovery and a launchpad for exploration and collaboration.
Innovation spotlight Meet the tech changing everything
Satellite and Non-Terrestrial Networks
As 5G moves toward global coverage, satellite and non-terrestrial networks (NTN) are expanding connectivity far beyond traditional cell towers — bridging the digital divide in rural, remote and underserved regions.
We see NTN as a core New Frontier technology, allowing mobility to transcend national borders and natural barriers. We’ll explore the essential role this next-generation layer of infrastructure plays in helping mobile operators ensure uninterrupted global coverage, especially for critical IoT and mission-driven applications.
We’ll also look at what this means for consumers and enterprises – seamless global roaming, enhanced emergency response and new economic opportunities in previously unreachable areas.
Activities
- Satellite & NTN Summit
- Exciting demo sessions on New Frontiers Stage
Features
- GSMA Foundry and European Space Agency showcase: exhibition of real-life use cases and demos.

Embodied AI
No longer confined to code, AI is taking physical form. A new AI-enabled workforce of AVs, drones, humanoid robots and smart wearables is here – in the air, on our roads and performing increasingly complex tasks in warehouses, factories, hospitals and homes.
As AI steps out of the virtual into reality, we’ll look at the potential and possibilities this creates for our ecosystem, as these intelligent, interactive machines drive unprecedented demand for high-bandwidth, ultra-low latency and hyper-reliable connectivity.
We’ll also showcase the solutions and services giving AI the senses needed to successfully navigate our physical world – enabling smarter cities, more responsive healthcare and seamless mobility, while also upending industry and manufacturing.
