Announcing Mobile Future Forward 2025

April 30, 2025

Dear Friends,

The Transcendence Era represents an extraordinary inflection point in human history, defined by the dynamic convergence of revolutionary technologies across diverse domains. This epoch promises to eclipse previous boundaries of intelligence, productivity, connectivity, and human capability, ushering in a time period of unparalleled transformation at scale.

From artificial intelligence and quantum computing to synthetic biology, computational chemistry, advanced connectivity, fusion energy, brain-computer interfaces, and new material sciences, this era signifies not merely incremental progress but a profound leap in human potential and economic opportunity. The interplay of ideas and innovations across these fields will catalyze exponential advancements, transforming visions once relegated to science fiction into tangible realities.

The world is in the midst of a race to build sovereign sentient AI infrastructure to radically rethink the industries that will run on it. Somehow exponential fails to capture the moment, the once in a lifetime transformation cycle that will reshape the global GDP in profound ways.

At its core, the Transcendence Era encapsulates the complexity and boundless promise of this transformative period. For years, Mobile Future Forward has been the unparalleled vanguard of industry evolution—igniting breakthrough ideas and shaping its trajectory with visionary foresight. Through the steadfast collaboration of our partners and the unwavering support of our community, we are assembling a constellation of pioneers, luminaries, disruptors, and trailblazers—who will brainstorm the path forward. Together, we will transcend conventional boundaries, challenge entrenched paradigms, distinguish substance from spectacle, and redefine the possibilities of human achievement.

We are thrilled to welcome three amazing leaders of our industry to the Quantumverse 2030: Transcendence to brainstorm the future of the industry – Sampath Sowmyanarayan, EVP & CEO, Verizon Consumer, Nishant Batra, CSO & CTO, Nokia, and Seizo Onoe, Director, ITU.
