aimm welcomes new Board members

This year we said goodbye to a couple of Board members, who moved onto to new opportunities. They had been a part of aimm for many years and have during their time on the Board, been a great support and have helped shape our direction, so thanks to them for all their help.

Although it was sad to see them go we are pleased to welcome our new Board members who have stepped up to replace them, and look forward to working with them over the next couple of years.  Both our new Board members are from the companies who had already been part of the Board, so provides a nice continuity.

Please welcome our new Board members:

Barcelona calling! MWC22 is nearly here!

#MWC22 will focus on the technologies enabling our connected industries

While the past two years have been incredibly testing, they have also highlighted what can be achieved when we work together and make the most of the technology more than 5 billion of us now have in our hands.

MWC Barcelona’s 2022 theme – Connectivity Unleashed – conveys this message perfectly: whether you’ve video-called loved ones, used a telemedicine app, or received money via a mobile app, connectivity has felt more precious than ever.

In this context, GSMA Mobile for Development is thrilled to gather partners – from mobile operators and donors to start-ups and governments – to review the progress made and identify what we need to do collectively to ensure mobile and digital technology delivers on its promise in terms of bridging the gaps in digital and financial inclusion, tackling climate change, or helping people live healthy, happy, and prosperous lives.
