HCLTech is set to take center stage at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2026, where it will drive critical conversations on the AI-native future of the telecom industry. As the telecom, media and technology (TMT) landscape rapidly evolves, HCLTech will demonstrate how AI-native architectures and deep industry convergence are reshaping networks, platforms and digital ecosystems worldwide.
At MWC 2026, HCLTech will bring together senior executives, hyperscaler partners, academic leaders and technology innovators to explore how intelligence, scalability and collaborative ecosystems are fueling sustainable, AI-driven growth across the TMT sector. Moreover, the company will highlight how enterprises can accelerate transformation by embedding AI across infrastructure, operations and customer experiences.
Industry leaders from Microsoft, Nokia, Ericsson, AT&T, Verizon, PwC, Bain, Axiata, Singtel, MasOrange and Liberty Latin America will actively participate in these strategic discussions. Together, they will examine the shifts enabling AI-native transformation, autonomous operations, platform-centric models and ecosystem-led innovation.
Executive Panels and Strategic Conversations
HCLTech will host high-level executive panels and CXO discussions that focus on embedding AI into core operations and unlocking platform-driven business models. In addition, the company will organize a flagship roundtable in collaboration with GSMA. Prof. Saikat Chaudhuri, Faculty Director of the Management, Entrepreneurship and Technology (M.E.T.) program at UC Berkeley, will moderate this roundtable, guiding discussions around converged TMT ecosystems and AI-powered infrastructure strategies.
Live Demonstrations of AI-Driven Innovation
Beyond discussions, HCLTech will present live demonstrations that showcase intelligent networks engineered for zero-failure environments. Attendees will also experience AI-powered media and digital platforms that deliver real-time insights. Furthermore, HCLTech will highlight advanced automation frameworks such as agentic fraud management systems, AI-powered Operations Support Systems (OSS) for telecom providers and its GenAI service transformation platform, AI Force.
The company will also demonstrate Agentic AI solutions, AIOps frameworks designed to enhance operational efficiency and an agentic-powered Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) platform that enables smarter, more personalized customer engagement. These solutions collectively illustrate how AI-native telecom transformation is moving from concept to execution.
Startup and Ecosystem Collaboration
In addition to enterprise engagement, HCLTech will spotlight startup innovators advancing AI, digital marketplaces and cybersecurity analytics. At the same time, it will emphasize its hyperscaler partnerships and co-innovation initiatives that help telecom organizations accelerate transformation at scale.
AI Priorities in Telecom: Survey Insights
Following MWC 2026, HCLTech will also reveal findings from a Mobile World Live survey examining AI and technology priorities within telecom organizations. The survey preview will offer practical insights into how industry executives are shaping their investment strategies and technology roadmaps in the intelligence era.
“It’s an exciting moment for the industry as convergence and AI are redefining networks, platforms and business models,” said Anil Ganjoo, Chief Growth Officer and Global Head of Telecom, Media and Technology at HCLTech. “By combining AI, cloud and digital engineering expertise with ecosystem partnerships, we are helping enterprises build resilient, scalable and intelligence-driven systems for sustainable growth.”
