en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) announced that the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 26 Kigali exhibition, originally scheduled to open on June 16, has been postponed, with only two weeks remaining until the original opening date. This decision has taken the industry by surprise.

Regarding the reason for the postponement, the GSMA only issued a brief statement, acknowledging that the decision may cause inconvenience to attendees and expressing gratitude for the understanding of stakeholders. The organization also stated that it will announce the new event dates in due course. "We look forward to hosting Africa's most influential connectivity event again soon," the statement added.

MWC Kigali is described on the GSMA official website as one of Africa's leading connectivity and technology events, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, innovators, and investors from across the continent and beyond, as well as six of Africa's largest mobile network operators. Event promotional materials state that the high-impact conference agenda is themed around the "IQ Era," emphasizing the integration of human intelligence and smart technology. It promises that attendees will gain in-depth insights into how innovations and technologies tailored for the African market are transforming healthcare, manufacturing, and education. Additionally, the 2026 event features an expanded and upgraded fintech agenda. Last year, this three-day event was held from October 23 to 25 by the GSMA with the support of Rwanda's Ministry of Information Communication Technology and Innovation.
