From robot footballers and industry leading speakers to Formula E and immersive zones, MWC26 Shanghai opens tomorrow showcasing the innovations and ideas shaping the future of global connectivity

SHANGHAI, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the global connectivity community prepares to meet at MWC26 Shanghai, the GSMA has published new research showing China accounts for over 40% of global 5G connections.

Ahead of event, GSMA launch Mobile Economy China 2026 report, as well as preview the innovations, and live experiences, attendees can expect. Highlights include Humanoid Robot Football Penalties Challenge, and launch of GLOMOs Asia.

Sihan Bo Chen, Head of Greater China, GSMA, said: “China now accounts for more than 40% of global 5G connections, with mobile technologies generating $1.5 trillion in economic value in 2025. Those numbers tell the story of an industry that’s moved far beyond connectivity into something much more ubiquitous: a platform for productivity, AI-driven services and sustainable economic growth. Seeing that come to life in person, through the people living and breathing it, is what makes MWC Shanghai so special. Tomorrow cannot come soon enough.”

Tech leaders including AgiBot, Honor, Huawei, Siemens China, Vodafone Asia and ZTE will join a packed speaker line up exploring AI, robotics and the future of connected industries.

Also, CircuitX, a GSMA Foundry initiative, will bring Formula E to MWC. Attendees can experience the thrill of the race from 10 Formula E simulators.

MWC26 Shanghai will spotlight the ecosystem’s ambition and exciting technological advances. Including  Mobile AI Innovation Frontiers, debut of  6G Zone; and Constellations of the Future, highlighting the growing role of space-ground integration.

PASADENA, Calif., June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sophia Space, Inc.,  a leader in space-based edge computing, today announced it has selected Apex,  the leading supplier of productized satellite platforms, to supply a satellite bus to bring real-time orbital computing to enterprise, government, and defense customers.

Sophia Space will fly one of Apex’s Nova bus platforms for a demo mission in 2027, demonstrating Sophia Space’s TILE (Thermal Integrated LEO Edge) compute modules.  

The  deal comes at a pivotal moment, as the volume of data generated in orbit grows, driven by new constellations designed to deliver persistent Earth observation, communications, security, and scientific insights. Traditional approaches, reliant on downlinking petabytes of data to ground stations, simply cannot keep pace with mission-critical timelines, making a new layer of on orbit edge processing essential.

“This is a force multiplier for Sophia Space’s mission to bring orbital computing mainstream,” said Rob DeMillo, CEO and Co-Founder of Sophia Space. “With Apex as our strategic bus supplier, we’re bringing computing into orbit where it’s needed most. This isn’t just about faster data. It’s about enabling satellites to make intelligent decisions autonomously, accelerating innovation across defense, commercial space, and Earth observation industries.”

“Apex was built to power innovative space missions, helping teams move from breakthrough technology to operational spacecraft faster,” said Ian Cinnamon, CoFounder & CEO of Apex. “Sophia’s vision for real-time orbital computing is exactly the kind of mission our Nova platform is designed to support, giving them a reliable, scalable path to bring edge computing capabilities to orbit.”

The announcement fast-forwards Sophia’s on-orbit success, closing a critical gap in the emerging space-based edge computing market, enabling faster responses in national defense, disaster management, Earth observation, and commercial operations where latency and bandwidth are limiting factors.

“We’re building the backbone for the next era of space-to-space and space-to-Earth infrastructure,” added Leon Alkalai, CTO and Founder of Sophia Space. “With Apex as a collaborator, satellites become autonomous computing hubs, able to act on data the moment it’s generated.”

Open for Engagement

Organizations across defense, space, energy, and emergency response sectors are invited to explore partnership and deployment opportunities as orbital computing moves from concept to commercial reality.
