On Monday morning, @MatsGranryd, @GSMA's Director General, took to the stage to deliver the first keynote of #MWC21: Our Connected World.

Here are just a few stand out quotes from his speech...

"The measure of a good leader is equal parts durability and new beginnings. With the pandemic, the world has tilted so dramatically in such a short period of time. The #mobile industry was there, a steady hand, showing leadership every single day." #MWC21

"Our industry is now one of the most powerful and public platforms in the world. By the end of 2021, #5G networks will cover a fifth of everyone on this planet." #MWC21

"Mobile completely transforms industries and enterprises. #5G is estimated to deliver an extra $700 billion dollars per year for operators by 2030." #MWC21

"Over the next 4 days you will hear from leaders of the most influential companies in our industry. We all believe that tech is best used to deliver inclusion and prosperity, and that we have a human duty to make our platforms accessible, fair, and safe for all." #MWC21

If you weren't able to watch @MatsGranryd's keynote opener live and as it happened, you can now watch it back on-demand via the MyMWC platform.
