Join MWC26 Doha, Co-Located with ITU PP-26

MWC26 Doha, set to coincide with ITU PP-26, offers a unique platform for strategic partnerships and business conclusion. Last year's event was a sell-out, with sponsors benefiting from an engaged audience. In 2026, demand is expected to be high, particularly due to PP-26's co-location. ITU Members and MWC Ministerial Programme delegates gain access to MWC26's exhibition and stages.

For those interested in MENA's mobile economy and tech innovation, MWC Doha presents an ideal opportunity. Last year marked the region's first impact, and Ericsson aims to continue evolving the event into a strategic platform for influential leaders in technology, telecom, enterprise, and government. This year, MWC26 Doha is co-locating with ITU PP-26, the UN's highest policy-making conference for digital technologies.

Here, telecom strategies and policies for the next four years will be mapped out. This presents a powerful platform for action, bringing together tech, telco, and policy leaders. Meanwhile, neighboring halls will see telco heads and government officials decide policy until 2030. Mobile technologies and services are projected to contribute $470 billion to MENA's economy by 2030. For more insights, download the latest research from GSMA Intelligence.
