Industry organisation the GSMA has published a list of the “world’s most promising growth-stage companies,” to identify the next generation of connectivity and digital services. It is called the ‘GSMA 100.’
According to the organisation, those on the list were chosen by mobile operators and investment partners. The priorities for selection included innovative work around 5G and networking, AI/machine learning, IOT and more.
