Digital technologies are playing a crucial role in Europe, as economies move forward with efforts to embrace both green and digital transformation. 5G connectivity is serving as a catalyst for GDP growth and a powerful tool to help combat climate change. Underscoring the impact of mobile in the region, mobile technologies and services generated 4.3% of Europe's GDP in 2022, a contribution that amounted to €910 billion of economic value added.

In addition to a range of technology, socioeconomic and financial datasets, including forecasts out to 2030, the Mobile Economy Europe 2023 examines key trends across the mobile industry: the revenue potential of 5G, network transformation, satellite connectivity, generative AI, circularity and fintech. Additionally, it explores the mobile industry’s impact on the SDGs. Finally, the research discusses how Europe requires a broad reset of the policy framework governing the digital communications ecosystem to seize control of its digital future.
