GSMA Innovation Forum in Shenzhen Spotlights Mobile AI, Low-Altitude Economy and Global Market Opportunities for Chinese Digital Ecosystem

Exploring How Mobile AI Empowering Vertical Industries and Releasing the Report “Operator-led AI Use Cases Across Vertical Industries”

Excitement builds for MWC26 Shanghai as new strategic partners announced for the event

SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The GSMA today hosted its Innovation Forum in Shenzhen, convening leaders from business, technology and policymakers to explore three transformative growth engines for China’s digital ecosystem: Mobile AI, the fast-emerging low-altitude economy, and global market opportunities.

The GSMA’s Head of Greater China, Sihan Bo Chen, said: “China continues to set the pace globally in digital infrastructure, 5G deployment and real-world AI application. A GSMA Intelligence survey of thousands of enterprises across 21 countries showed that China has one of the highest scores for digital transformation and is at the forefront of innovation and technology developments[i]. Today’s event, supported by the insights from our comprehensive AI best-practice report, is an invaluable platform for industry leaders and governments to share success stories, address common challenges and forge the partnerships to help move the industry forward.”

The GSMA Innovation Forum is GSMA’s signature year-end platform for dialogue on the industry’s most critical topics. Traditionally hosted in Beijing, the Forum comes to Shenzhen for the first time this year. As a pioneer in infrastructure and supply-chain development for the low-altitude economy, and home to many globally expanding technology leaders, Shenzhen offers a uniquely dynamic environment—especially in advancing AI.

During the event, the GSMA shared its annual report focusing on operator use cases for vertical industries in China. The report, “Operator Best Practices: AI Large Model Empowering Verticals Use Cases – 2025 Edition” analysed nearly 20 operator-led deployments across four priority sectors: innovative customer service and network operations, healthcare and smart education, industrial upgrading and intelligent manufacturing, and public services and social governance.

The report provides in-depth examination of industry challenges, technical solutions, key innovations, and the core value delivered in each case. While its findings provide practical, replicable experience and uniquely Chinese insights, it also provides a resource for mobile operators and vertical industries worldwide as they accelerate large-model AI deployment at scale.

Looking forward to MWC26 Shanghai

The GSMA has announced more strategic partners in support of MWC26 Shanghai, in addition to the 17 companies recently announced. Each strategic partner brings industry and technological leadership, contributing an essential part in the shaping of MWC26 Shanghai., The new strategic partners include China Tower, Fraunhofer, NTT Data, Quectel, Singtel, Telenor and World Broadband Association (WBBA). MWC26 Shanghai’s agenda will focus on the thought leadership themes of Intelligent Infrastructure, ConnectAI, AI4Enterprise and Mobile AI. MWC26 will also feature new zones including Mobile AI Innovation Frontiers, the Global Innovation Pavilion, City Pavilions, Digital Transformation Vertical Zones, and Constellations of the Future.

Rule of law guards sound business environment

BEIJING, Dec. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from China Daily:

With 2026 marking the start of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), it is crucial to further build a unified domestic market and boost domestic consumption. This necessitates creating an even better business environment, with the rule of law remaining a cornerstone for ensuring such an environment.

China’s top leaders have emphasized that rule of law constitutes the most sound business environment.

This guiding remark underscores the intrinsic link between the rule of law and economic development, embodying the fundamental principles of economics, jurisprudence and political science.  

The rule of law provides certainty and reduces institutional transaction costs. New institutional economics says that low transaction costs are essential for the efficient functioning of a market economy.

The rule of law also defines property rights, thus stimulating the market. Clear delineation of property rights is also critical for market transactions. The rule of law recognizes and protects property rights through a robust legal framework.

Moreover, the rule of law promotes law-based administration and shapes a fair competitive environment. At its core, the rule of law means governance by rules, with a sharp focus on regulating and restraining government power.

Equally important, the rule of law protects the legal rights and interests of entities. A well-functioning system that resolves disputes through legal, arbitral and mediation mechanisms is a crucial pillar of market confidence.

Over the past five years, China has translated these theoretical principles into tangible reality through a holistic and systematic approach.

The predictability in market rules has been fortified. China has come out with regulations for optimizing the business environment and laid the groundwork for continuous improvements in market access, fair competition and resource allocation mechanisms.

Through the rule of law, property rights protection has been made more effective, government action has become more predictable, and access to legal remedies has been substantially enhanced.

Wrongful cases involving business environments have also been rectified to avoid conflating economic disputes with criminal conduct, sending a clear message in support of entrepreneurial rights.     

The important assertion that “the rule of law is the best business environment” is being implemented across China’s vast landscape through scientific legislation, strict law enforcement, impartial judiciary, and widespread adherence to the law.      

The author Luo Peixin is a professor of law and the vice-president of East China University of Political Science and Law.

Binance Becomes First Crypto Exchange To Secure a Global License Under ADGM Framework, Setting a New Standard in Digital-Asset Regulation

ABU DHABI, UAE, Dec. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and users, today announced a landmark regulatory achievement: The Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi, the Capital of the UAE, has formally approved the authorisation of Binance’s global platform, Binance.com, under a comprehensive regulatory framework.

This global first is a major step in Binance’s mission to create the most trusted and compliant digital-asset ecosystem in the world. A license granted by FSRA of ADGM offers Binance credibility and seamless access across multiple markets, extending well beyond the UAE, and cements Binance’s position at the forefront of regulatory progress in digital finance.

This comprehensive regulatory approval covers Binance’s global platform, Binance.com, via three separate regulated entities operating within ADGM. Each of the three entities (an Exchange, a Clearing House, and a Broker Dealer) holds distinct regulatory permissions to carry out specific financial services activities in line with ADGM’s internationally recognized, gold-standard regulatory framework.

  • Nest Services Limited (to be soon renamed “Nest Exchange Limited”) has been approved as a Recognised Investment Exchange “RIE”, with permission to operate a Multilateral Trading Facility. This entity is responsible for all “on-exchange” trading activities, including spot and derivatives products.
  • Nest Clearing and Custody Limited has been approved as a Recognised Clearing House “RCH”, with additional permissions to provide custody and CSD services. It will manage the clearing, settlement, and secure custody of digital assets, ensuring robust operational resilience and asset protection.
  • BCI Limited (to be soon renamed “Nest Trading Limited”) has been approved as a Broker-Dealer, with permissions to deal in investments, arrange deals in investments, manage assets, arrange custody and provide money services. This entity will deliver Binance’s “off-exchange” offerings, including over the counter “OTC” trading, conversion services, and other principal-based activities.

Richard Teng, Co-CEO of Binance, commented: “Achieving regulatory status through ADGM’s respected framework reflects our deep commitment to compliance, transparency, and user protection. ADGM is one of the most respected financial regulators globally, and holding an FSRA license under their gold standard framework shows that Binance meets the highest international standards for compliance, governance, risk management, and consumer protection.”

Teng added, “This license provides regulatory clarity and legitimacy, enabling Binance to support its global operations from ADGM. While our global operations remain distributed, leveraging talent and innovation worldwide, this regulatory foundation offers our users peace of mind knowing Binance operates under a globally recognised, gold standard framework. We are grateful for the FSRA’s forward-thinking approach, which safeguards users while fostering innovation.”

His Excellency Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of ADGM, said, “We are pleased to welcome Binance, a key global player in digital assets and financial innovation, to ADGM. Their presence underscores Abu Dhabi’s standing as a leading international hub for innovation, sustainable growth, and the future of finance. We look forward to seeing them harness the strength of ADGM’s progressive regulatory framework and dynamic ecosystem contributing to the evolution of a more innovative, inclusive, and future-ready global financial sector.”

With over 300 million registered users globally and more than $125 trillion in cumulative trading volume, Binance continues to lead the evolution of the digital asset ecosystem by building a secure, transparent, and fully compliant infrastructure. Operating under ADGM’s robust financial services regime ensures all Binance users benefit from high standards of oversight and consumer protection as the platform scales into its next phase of institutional and retail adoption.

Subject to final operational preparation, Binance.com will start operating its ADGM regulated activities on Jan 5, 2026. This milestone cements Binance’s position at the forefront of regulatory progress in digital finance. It also reinforces the UAE’s emergence as a global hub for innovation in financial services, supported by clear regulatory pathways and a deep talent base.

Binance is trusted by more than 300 million people in 100+ countries for its industry-leading security, transparency, trading engine speed, protections for investors, and unmatched portfolio of digital asset products and offerings from trading and finance to education, research, social good, payments, institutional services, and Web3 features.

AI adoption reshaping workforce structures: half of employers use it to optimise headcount

  • 58% of employers have introduced AI in the workplace, 49% of them with an objective to optimise headcount.
  • Administration & business support (38%), IT & digital transformation (35%), and accounting & finance (26%) are the functions most impacted.
  • 53% of employers expect more than a quarter of their workforce will need reskilling due to AI, and 26% anticipate reskilling for over half their employees.
  • Critical skills for an AI-driven workplace include critical thinking & fact checking (62%), data analysis (60%), and creativity (42%).
  • Nearly half (49%) of professionals have already pursued AI-related training, and 16% have researched industries where new opportunities are emerging.
  • 65% of professionals believe AI will positively impact their careers.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 December 2025 – Robert Walters today released insights highlighting how artificial intelligence is reshaping Hong Kong’s workforce. While employers are leveraging AI to optimise processes and redeploy talent into higher-value roles, professionals are responding with proactive upskilling and career planning.
The survey shows that 58% of employers have introduced AI in the workplace, and 49% of these implementations were aimed at optimising headcount. Another 20% of employers are planning to implement AI integration.

These are some of the key findings on employees and companies in Hong Kong, based on the world’s most trusted talent solutions company Robert Walters’ Global Salary Survey 2026, an authoritative analysis and benchmark of salary trends.
Automation impacts support and IT roles while fuelling demand for AI talent

According to Robert Walters, employers report that functions such as administration and business support (38%), IT and digital transformation (35%), and accounting and finance (26%) are most impacted by automation. At the same time, demand is rising for specialists in data science, machine learning, and AI product development.
“Globally, companies are accelerating AI adoption to drive efficiency and innovation. Recent moves by major firms underscore the scale of transformation underway,” said John Mullally, Managing Director of Robert Walters Hong Kong. “AI development is accelerating across Hong Kong, supported by government initiatives to position AI as a pillar industry, yet talent shortages and governance gaps remain, making reskilling and strategic workforce planning more critical than ever.”
Critical thinking & fact checking matters the most in an AI workforce

Employers believe the most critical skills for an AI-driven workplace go beyond technical know-how. While machine learning expertise (31%) is important, human capabilities such as critical thinking & fact checking (61%), data analysis (58%), creativity (43%), and ethical decision-making (34%) are indispensable for interpreting AI outputs, ensuring fairness, and driving innovation. This reflects a shift from transactional tasks to roles that combine technology with judgment and creativity.
On the employee’s side, 65% of them believe AI will positively impact their careers. Only 38% of professionals fear job displacement.
“AI is changing the shape of careers, not eliminating them,” said John Mullally. “We’re seeing fewer roles in some areas, but faster progression for those who adapt and acquire new skills. The future belongs to professionals who combine technical literacy with human-centric capabilities.”

AI accelerates skills evolution

The survey reveals that over half of employers (53%) expect more than a quarter of their workforce will need new skills due to AI, and 26% anticipate reskilling for more than half their employees. Meanwhile, professionals are already taking steps to future-proof their careers. Nearly half (48%) have already pursued AI-related training, and 30% plan to start soon. Another 17% have researched industries where AI is creating new opportunities, signalling a proactive approach to career development.
However, concerns remain. 42% worry about keeping pace with AI skills due to limited training opportunities, while 40% cite accountability for AI-driven decisions as a challenge. This underscores the need for employers to invest in structured learning pathways and transparent governance.
“As AI adoption accelerates, companies that invest in reskilling and ethical AI practices will gain a competitive edge in attracting and retaining top talent,” said John Mullaly. “Technology can improve efficiency, but growth still depends on people. The real challenge for employers is finding the right balance between automation and developing their workforce.”
