The spotlight shines on GSMA M360 Eurasia as it debuts in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, bringing together key voices from the technology landscape. The event centers on AI and 5G innovation, while prioritizing digital inclusion and local languages. As digital transformation sweeps across Eurasia, GSMA M360 Eurasia provides a powerful platform to shape the region’s connected future.
M360 Eurasia Showcases Regional AI and 5G Technology Leaders
This year’s GSMA M360 Eurasia gathers policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators from across the region. Partnerships, such as those with the Ministry of Digital Technologies of Uzbekistan and Beeline Uzbekistan, highlight a strong collaborative spirit. During the event, the Kaz-LLM demo pod takes center stage, demonstrating AI’s ability to communicate in languages like Kazakh, Turkish, English, and Russian. These initiatives, developed with VEON’s QazCode and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, address the vital challenge of supporting underrepresented languages in AI.
Mobile Economy Eurasia 2025 Reveals Promising Growth Trends
The Mobile Economy Eurasia 2025 report offers insight into the region’s digital potential. According to the GSMA, mobile technology and services are set to make up $270 billion of Eurasia’s economy by 2030. This will be equivalent to 8.3% of the regional GDP. Additional findings underscore rapid growth:
- 5G connections are projected to hit 143 million by 2030, making up 41% of all mobile connections.
- By 2024, 164 million Eurasian users had adopted mobile internet, representing two-thirds of the population.
- However, a usage gap persists, with 80 million people still offline despite network coverage.
Bridging the Digital Divide: Inclusion and Language Innovation
Focus on digital inclusion remains at the heart of GSMA M360 Eurasia. Teams spotlight new AI solutions designed to close the language gap for low-resourced communities. Collaborations with partners such as IBM, which provide Watsonx.ai access to GSMA members, further enhance innovation potential. Meanwhile, initiatives involving the European Space Agency highlight progress toward greater connectivity through non-terrestrial networks. This cohesive strategy ensures that technology’s benefits reach more people while respecting linguistic and cultural diversity.
In summary, GSMA M360 Eurasia in Tashkent demonstrates the region’s commitment to digital leadership and cooperation. As AI and 5G technologies evolve, efforts to include all voices—especially through language innovation—set a promising course for Eurasia’s digital future.
