MWC Barcelona’s Post

🤝 At the European Signature Dialogue forum, Andrea Sassetti (President of AssoCertificatori and CEO of Aruba PEC) and Jerome BORDIER (General Secretary of the ClubPSCo for French-speaking trust service providers) led a strategic dialogue involving over half of the qualified trust services (#QTSP) in Europe. The discussions have opened up new perspectives to strengthen the #TrustEconomy and to address the challenges of interoperability, increasingly central issues in an ever-evolving digital context. #ArubaIT #DigitalTrust

The latest European Works Council has just been formed! Big congratulations to the the Special Negotiating Body (SNB) of Kyndryl who have concluded a European Works Council. It is nearly 3 years since the process was triggered-by representatives from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. In accordance with the rules of the EWC Directive, representatives from across Europe joined the EWC and negotiated the text of an agreement with Kyndryl management. There are about 2,000 companies across Europe which meet the threshold for forming an EWC. Yet the number of actually existing EWCs stands at about half that number. The Trade Union federations have a key role in the SNB process according to the Directive (in the case of Kyndryl, UNI Europa Birte Dedden). It is crucial that SNBs and EWCs use their rights under the Directive. Key to this is selecting experts of their choice under the means required. Syndex Congratulations again to everyone involved in bringing the Kyndryl EWC into being.

As the backbone of the trust economy, the future of Trust Services within the complex European landscape is of paramount importance.  In our increasingly interconnected world, trust in the digital economy is a critical concern, particularly as interoperability and cross-border transactions become more prominent. Trust service providers are essential in this ecosystem, serving as effective trust anchors and delivering vital services across various sectors of the economy. #TrustServices #TrustServiceProvider #TrustEconomy #QTSP #eIDAS #DigitalEconomy #Aruba #ArubaPEC

Meet our colleague André Moura Gomes at MWC! We're at booth 7G51 (Belgian pavillion) to discuss how we make regulation simple for you! Global Tech Trends Cullen International

Truly, well deserving Dr. Hans Wijayasuriya ! You have been true North Star for the telecom sector for over 2 decades, one who saw and visualised things 10 yeses ahead. I remember when you spoke of screen convergence back in 2005, expecting single platform with handheld, tv, tablets connect/ switched in one data plan. I recall you spoke of voice being sunset way before even data kicked in. The Camel Hump theory of voice vs data price elasticity. structural separation of netcos vs serviceco to woo different investor groups. And most recently, "telco to techco" transformation. An ardent supporter and true General of connecting the unconnected in our part of the world, one digital identify for individuals to remove mistrust in the system and onwards boost economy activities, bridging digital divide, telecom as a mean to bring communities together in emerging markets, proliferation of 2g to 5g (and beyond), telecom as a means to bring equilibrium and parity the society we live. Above all, an absolute gentleman to the core. Rarely speaks, but when he speaks, the most wisdom in the room, everyone stay quite to listen to him. It's an absolute pleasure to witness your joinery ! And, time has come for you to write the blueprint for telecom industry for the next decade where network in indeed a "basic human right", ubiquitous and sensory use cases 5g/6g, open and dispassionately shared network design to bring the cost per gb down are the nobel and audacious objective to realise !

🌟 Pursuing Technological Innovation, Boosting Economic Growth, and Ensuring National Security 🌟 These three priorities are crucial for the United States to maintain its primacy in world affairs. That’s why I’m honored to be working again with my former colleagues at USAID, implementing components of the United States Government National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology (NSSCET). The NSSCET recognizes the challenges the United States faces in maintaining its global leadership in international standardization. It also addresses concerns that the core principles of the international standardization system may be compromised by strategic competitors seeking to influence it. Under U.S. policy and practice, technical standards are developed by consensus, with active participation from the private sector and academia, while U.S. government officials largely observe. This collaborative approach ensures that our standards remain robust, inclusive, and forward-thinking. 🚀🇺🇸 #Innovation #EconomicGrowth #NationalSecurity #NSSCET #USAID #TechnologyLeadership #InternationalStandards
