MWC Barcelona 2026, Fira Gran Via, Barcelona
The EU Ministerial Roundtable at the GSMA Ministerial Programme 2026 will bring
together Ministers and leading European telecommunications industry CEOs to engage
in a forward-looking dialogue about the continent’s digital future.
The roundtable will focus on the Digital Networks Act (DNA) and will serve as a timely platform

help Europe build a resilient, competitive, and innovative connectivity landscape that meets
the demands of tomorrow’s digital society.
Participants will address how to bridge investment gaps in digital infrastructure, and examine
how regulatory simplification can accelerate the deployment of advanced connectivity
technologies, reduce unnecessary barriers, and support continued digital growth.
The roundtable will further explore how European telecom policy can act as a catalyst for next-
generation connectivity, ensuring that future networks are not only advanced and efficient but
also secure and resilient against evolving threats.
