NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME TO PUT GROWTH ON AGENDA As the global vaccination campaign continues, companies are preparing for the post-COVID-19 economic rebound to rebuild their financial strength and recover ground that they have lost during the COVID recession. Simultaneously, they must also respond to drivers and trends that the pandemic has either induced or significantly accelerated. They must balance the demand surge and digitalization tailwind against supply shortages.

Telecoms operators and startups: Rethink and reinvent

Dr. Karim Taga, Hariprasad Pichai, Christoph Uferer

Telecoms operators around the world are already engaging with startups in an attempt to benefit from their agility, execution speed and disruptive power. However, realizing tangible benefits and value from these initiatives has been a persistent challenge.

The complexity and scale of the IoT brings increased focus on elements such as the safety of various stakeholders, new business models, data security and privacy.
