Ministerial Programme 2025

From 3 to 5 March 2025, leaders from government, industry, and international institutions came together at the GSMA Ministerial Programme to meet their global peers and engage in dynamic discussions in an exclusive environment at the heart of MWC Barcelona.

This year, the GSMA Ministerial Programme delved into crucial issues including responsible AI governance, energy efficiency of networks, future spectrum for mobile, and continued the dialogue on investment as operators strove to stay ahead of network traffic growth.

The man in the center holds a shiny, geometric-shaped award, signifying an achievement. The individuals on either side smile and pose for the photo. The setting appears to be an award ceremony recognizing government leadership in 2025.
