The fight for pervasive and affordable #connectivity is today, calling for concrete actions every single day. Yet there is a #transformative solution in sight, offering unprecedented opportunities for development, connectivity, and inclusion: #6G due in 6 years 🇫🇮 The African me gets really excited about its promising impact: 1. Bridging the #digitaldivide ! 6G could significantly narrow the connectivity gap in rural Africa by providing high-speed internet access to remote areas. This would enable communities to access digital services, including education, healthcare, and government services, that are currently out of reach for many. 2. Enhancing #agricultural practices! With 6G, farmers in rural #Africa could leverage precision agriculture technologies, including IoT devices that monitor soil moisture, crop health, and weather conditions in real-time. This could lead to increased agricultural productivity, better resource management, and improved food security. 3. Improving #healthcare access! 6G could revolutionize telemedicine services, making it possible for remote consultations, real-time monitoring of patients, and access to AI-driven diagnostics. This would greatly improve healthcare access and outcomes in rural areas where medical facilities are scarce. 4. #educationalexcellence! High-speed, reliable internet can transform education in rural Africa by providing access to online learning resources, virtual classrooms, and educational apps. This could help overcome the barriers of distance and lack of physical infrastructure, offering quality education opportunities to remote communities. And the list goes on with #economicempowerment, #communityresilience, #sustainabledevelopment, cultural and social #inclusion. Grab the chance to understand 6G and what it can mean for you at the Mobile World Congress 2024! Business Finland

Learn from My Mistakes: How to Get the Most Out of Conferences When I attended my first conference in Spain, I was doing well and had a lot of good relevant meetings but didn't have as much outcome as I hoped for.  Here's why: Mistake #1: Waiting to Follow Up Excitement after a conference is high, but so is everyone else's inbox! Waiting too long to follow up after the conference means people might forget who you are. It's better to reach out while the memory of the meeting is still fresh. Mistake #2: Underestimating Note-Taking Detailed notes are your follow-up roadmap. Capture key points, shared challenges, and specific next steps for each conversation. This way, your outreach is personalized and impactful. Mistake #3: Information Overload Sharing too much information all at once can overwhelm people. Focus on giving just enough to keep them interested and wanting to learn more. Hope it was helpful ! See you at MWC, Barcelona !
