Registration is now officially open for MWC25 Doha, the flagship GSMA event that will bring together global and regional leaders in digital innovation, telecommunications, and emerging technologies. Scheduled for November 25–26, 2025, the conference marks a milestone as the first MWC hosted in the Gulf region, positioning Qatar as a hub for the future of connectivity.
MWC (Mobile World Congress) has long been recognized as the world’s most influential connectivity event, with flagship editions in Barcelona, Shanghai, and Las Vegas. Now, with Doha joining the lineup, MWC25 will serve as a regional gateway to showcase how the Middle East and North Africa are shaping the hyperconnected future.
What to Expect at MWC25 Doha
The event will convene telecom operators, technology companies, startups, investors, and policymakers from across MENA and beyond. Over two days, attendees will gain exclusive insights into the forces reshaping industries, including 5G, AI, cloud, cybersecurity, fintech, and digital infrastructure.
Confirmed features of MWC25 Doha include:
- Keynote sessions by global executives and regional policymakers.
- Exhibition halls featuring cutting-edge technologies, startups, and corporate showcases.
- Networking programs designed to connect innovators with investors and partners.
- Workshops and panels focusing on AI adoption, smart city infrastructure, sustainability, and the future of digital commerce in MENA.
The GSMA has positioned Doha as the ideal stage for this expansion, citing Qatar’s investments in digital infrastructure, its emerging role as a startup hub, and its strategic location bridging MENA, Africa, and Asia.
Why Doha, Why Now?
Hosting MWC in Doha underlines Qatar’s growing influence in the global tech ecosystem. In recent years, Qatar has accelerated its national digital agenda through strategic government initiatives, hyperscale cloud adoption, fintech regulations, and SME digitalization programs.
Qatar’s success in hosting global-scale events — from the FIFA World Cup 2022 to Web Summit Qatar — has proven its capacity to deliver world-class platforms for innovation and networking. With MWC25, Qatar takes another step in establishing itself as a regional anchor for technology, entrepreneurship, and capital flow.
