Hayo has joined the GSMA, a member-led organisation representing the mobile industry, to collaborate with world leaders and support innovation across the mobile community. As a member, Hayo will join a community of experts from almost 700 mobile network operators and more than 450 companies ranging from technology providers through to enterprises.
Hayo brings more than three decades of experience to the GSMA, delivering communications services and digital solutions to Africa, the Middle East and around the world. Hayo’s mission is to close the digital gap in Africa and around the world by bringing technology and digital solutions to underserved rural areas, as well as urban developments. This aligns with the GSMA’s mission of unlocking the full power of connectivity for people, industries and societies to thrive. Together, Hayo and GSMA community experts will work together to solve industry challenges and accelerate innovation to positively impact the future of mobile technology.
“Joining the GSMA is a key milestone for Hayo and represents a very exciting opportunity to accelerate digital transformation across the mobile ecosystem on a global scale,” commented Feraz Ahmed, CEO at Hayo. “We have a wealth of experience not only in telecoms, but also digital solutions, to deliver on-the-ground innovation that has a positive impact on local people’s lives. We’re looking forward to connecting with other GSMA members to collaborate and maximise the potential of new, existing and emerging technologies for businesses and consumers alike.”
The GSMA unifies the mobile ecosystem to drive innovation that promotes positive business environments and societal change. It delivers for its members across three broad pillars: Connectivity for Good, Industry Services and Solutions, and Outreach. This activity includes advancing policy, tackling today’s biggest societal challenges, underpinning the technology and interoperability that make mobile work, and providing the world’s largest platform to convene the mobile ecosystem at the MWC and M360 series of events.
“We are pleased to welcome Hayo as an industry member and look forward to their valuable insights and collaboration on GSMA initiatives that help shape the mobile ecosystem,” said Colin Bareham, General Manager, Membership, GSMA. “Our members represent a truly diverse group of organisations, including many different vertical industries, and together, we have the power to transform businesses and societies around the world.”
