In a fireside chat at HCLTech’s booth during MWC 2026, leaders explored what it really takes to move toward autonomous networks

Exploring 10 trends defining silicon leadership and resilience

At MWC 2026, the conversation around AI has clearly shifted: The question is no longer whether enterprises should experiment with AI, but how they convert experimentation into measurable, scalable ROI

As AI systems become more distributed, autonomous and more deeply embedded into physical environments, one reality is becoming clear: intelligence is only as strong as the network that underpins it

Automotive, AI and industrial sectors are demanding faster, more sustainable semiconductor innovation and collaboration across the ecosystem, from chip design to fab operations

Satellite connectivity is expanding the reach of telecom networks, enabling new AI-driven services beyond traditional fiber and tower infrastructure

As software becomes central to automotive, OEMs must evolve from ECU-based systems to scalable SDVs enabling continuous updates, AI features and new revenue streams with strong safety and security

Autonomous, learning systems are ushering in the dawn of a self-improving factory floor and redefining manufacturing economics

As products grow more complex, optimized PLM helps enterprises cut costs, improve collaboration and accelerate innovation by streamlining processes, integrations and data management

At ViVE 2026, healthcare leaders discussed how AI is reshaping payer and provider operations while navigating financial pressures, workforce challenges and the need for scalable, integrated solutions

With traditional transistor scaling slowing down, the semiconductor industry is pivoting to chiplet-based architectures and advanced packaging to deliver scalable, efficient performance for AI and HPC

At MWC 2026, leaders from Reclaim and HCLTech explored how inclusive leadership, diverse perspectives and everyday cultural practices can strengthen decision-making, innovation and business outcomes
