ZTE's 15th Global Summit and GSMA's M360 ASEAN will run back-to-back in Shanghai in September, with a focus on network evolution, AI, and digital value.
ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ) and the GSMA will hold two events back-to-back in Shanghai this September, the companies said Wednesday. The 15th ZTE Global Summit & User Congress runs September 8–9, and GSMA's M360 ASEAN runs September 9–10, under a co-location agreement that makes ZTE a strategic partner of the GSMA event.
The arrangement brings together ICT operators, technical experts, and government officials for what ZTE called in-depth discussions on network evolution, AI implementation, and regional digital economy growth. Themes at the ZTE summit range from intelligent infrastructure to measurable digital value, with keynotes, product launches, and exhibition tours across both days.
This is the 15th edition of ZTE's Global Summit, described by the company as its largest self-organized forum outside China. Co-locating it with GSMA's M360 ASEAN gives the Chinese telecom equipment maker a visible slot in the broader industry event calendar around Mobile World Congress Shanghai.
The co-location matters for the telecom sector because it signals ZTE's push to define the conversation around network evolution and AI monetization at a time when operators are looking for new revenue streams beyond connectivity. GSMA's M360 ASEAN brings an operator-focused regional lens, which could shape how ZTE positions its 5G-Advanced and AI infrastructure products for Southeast Asian markets.
For investors tracking ZTE, the event provides a window into how the company frames its product roadmap against competitors like Huawei and Ericsson. The summit agenda covers four chapters that map from connectivity to digital value, including chapters on network evolution, AI deployment, and regional economic impact – though ZTE did not provide specific product announcements or financial targets in the release.
ZTE shares traded at HK$22.80 on Thursday, up 1.3% on the Hong Kong exchange. The stock has gained 12% year to date.
