And what do carriers bring to the table? First of all, they make it happen with leading-edge technology solutions. IPX, HD voice technology, LTE deployment enable a host of innovative services in society today. m-payment and m-banking services, for example, are responding to real customer needs that were unimaginable 10 years ago. And the best has yet to come. A host of new services are being rapidly developed in the areas of health and education that will bring further progress in society. Services that were unimaginable 10 years ago.

So what’s our challenge for tomorrow? Innovation has shifted from a competitive advantage to a strategic imperative. This means that carriers need to continuously build and adjust their innovation strategy. A strategy that must be geared towards developing markets, improving performance and delivering highest quality service to the customer. It’s all about having a global, positive approach but responding to specific local needs at the same time. Innovation is not just about technology and disruptive breakthroughs in our industry. Innovation is an ecosystem that encompasses technology, the customer, the market, the business model.

I believe in investing actively in research and innovation in the hot spots of the world. I’m convinced about the importance of innovating across the value chain to respond to higher challenges, bigger demands for even smarter solutions. To keep our promises of delivering best-in-class service and performance, to continue to create strong value, the carriers’ world needs smart and sharp innovation!
