      With 6G on the horizon, we are entering a new era of hyperconnectivity. As the new mobile communications technology heavily builds on 5G and 5G Standalone, businesses investing in these technologies today can successfully introduce AI-native capabilities into networks, guaranteeing their success by enabling new service models at scale now and in the future.

      To kick off MWC 2026, Ericsson leaders, including Börje Ekholm, President and CEO, Cecilia Atterwall, Head of Marketing, and Erik Ekudden, Senior Vice President and CTO, joined major industry figures to reveal where networks, innovation, and value creation can go next, explain the cloud‑native, intelligent, programmable 5G capabilities behind advanced network performance, share how differentiated connectivity allows for scaling the mobile platform, and give a tour of our pavilion featuring key innovations of 2026.
