Innovation and thought leadership from MWC 2026

Overview

A great rebuild is upon us

The TMT industry is undergoing a once-in-a-generation transformation. In an intelligence-first economy, legacy playbooks are no longer enough to navigate the rapid convergence of Telecom, Media, Technology and Semiconductors. To stay competitive, organizations must embrace a new operating model that is AI-native by design.

This next era demands a new kind of TechCo. One that operates at the system level, where networks, platforms, data and silicon converge to turn complexity into momentum. HCLTech powers this next era of TMT by combining strategic imagination with decades of execution across the world’s most critical systems. We help organizations move beyond point solutions to turn constant disruption into a durable advantage.

Our vision comes to life through three defining shifts that are reshaping the industry:

  1. Powering Intelligence
  2. Powering Networks
  3. Powering Experiences

Join us at MWC 2026 to explore how organizations are making this shift, and how HCLTech is powering the next era of TMT with bold leadership, applied intelligence and scaled execution.

Meet us at MWC 2026

The Partner for the Next Era of TMT

Description

Powering the next era of TMT requires more than innovation. It requires deep industry expertise, cross-ecosystem execution and the ability to operate inside environments where failure is not an option.

As HCLTech’s largest and fastest-growing vertical, TMT reflects our proven ability to deliver at scale across complex, interconnected systems. Our long-standing partnerships, global delivery capabilities and industry-first solutions enable organizations to move faster, modernize smarter and lead with confidence in an AI-native world.

We don’t just enable transformation. We operate the systems that make it real.
