Blockchain in supply chains: a perfect match reaching commercial maturity
Back in October 2018 we highlighted supply chain management as one of the most promising and dynamic areas for non-crypto use of blockchain. Almost a year on, blockchain in supply chains has matured commercially, providing solutions to some of the sector’s long-held problems such as counterfeit goods, as well as use cases for the circular economy. Technology maturity has also given rise to new innovative players, resulting in expansion of the ecosystem.
The recent Blockchain in Supply Chain Conference in Athens highlighted this maturity as it brought together major digital players, such as Accenture and IBM, as well as those from the logistics and shipping industries.

Industry Checkpoint: IoT, Q1 2026
This edition of the Industry Checkpoint series focuses on IoT, highlighting how the market has changed in the last six months and its implications. The report considers four major developments: the ramping up of commercial services based on SGP.32; LoRaWAN IoT integrating with the cellular and satellite ecosystems; momentum building for commercial offerings integrating NTN and cellular IoT; and eRedCap being positioned as a cost-efficient path to 5G for the next generation of IoT devices.
The State of 5G 2026
This report analyses the state of 5G, seven years after its commercial launch, using GSMA Intelligence’s 5G Connectivity Index to benchmark 46 markets across 5G infrastructure and services. It shows broad convergence across the foundation components (coverage, affordability, adoption), but reveals a widening gap on advanced capabilities, including 5G standalone (SA), 5G‑Advanced, uplink performance, fixed wireless access (FWA), IoT and RedCap.
From connectivity provider to growth partner
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are digitising rapidly, but telcos seize only a fraction of the opportunity due to gaps between SME expectations and current offerings. To unlock growth, telcos must simplify integration, make reliability visible, and shift from offering security tools to managed protection, delivering integrated, outcome-oriented solutions.
