M360 is an event held annually by GSMA since 2013. It selects regional themes from Europe, South America, Africa, Asia, etc., to discuss ICT industry agendas on mobile industry issues. Exhibitions by participating companies are also arranged to observe the latest technologies and trends. Last year's event held in Seoul saw participation from 37 countries, over 310 companies, and more than 1,700 visitors.

This year's Mobile360 will be held under the theme 'Digital Nation Development through AI.' Leaders from major domestic and international ICT companies, the Ministry of Science and ICT, the Korea Telecommunications Operators Association (KTOA), and key figures from academia are expected to attend. The event will discuss the future of the digital era, including industry-specific digital transformation (DX), generative AI, 6G, and the metaverse.

Kim Young-seop, CEO of KT, said, "KT will propose various agendas that can change the paradigm of the digital market centered on existing big tech companies and enhance the capabilities and market dominance of telecommunications operators. We will also strive to successfully lead M360 APAC Seoul this year and secure leadership in the digital ecosystem, including AI."
