Sam George engages global telecom leaders at MWC Doha 2026
Ghana’s Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has joined international policymakers and telecommunications industry leaders in Qatar for the 2026 edition of the Mobile World Congress (MWC), with discussions focused on expanding digital cooperation and strengthening global connectivity.
The three-day event officially opened on Sunday, November 8, at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre. It is being organised by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) in partnership with Qatar’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.
The congress has brought together governments, international organisations and private-sector players to deliberate on emerging technologies, telecommunications development, digital innovation and opportunities within the global digital economy.
As part of Ghana’s participation, Mr George took part in the Digital Leadership Forum, which examined key developments in the telecommunications industry, as well as the GSMA Ministerial Programme.
The latter provides a platform for ministers, heads of delegation and industry leaders to discuss the future of connectivity.
He is also expected to attend the State of Qatar Ministerial Roundtable, where ministers and senior officials will explore how digital transformation can support a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient future.
The Minister’s engagements include bilateral discussions with counterparts from the Bahamas and Kenya on areas of mutual interest, voting and candidacies, as well as aligning policy positions.
The meetings are intended to strengthen Ghana’s international partnerships and advance its interests in telecommunications and digital governance.
Mr George is further scheduled to attend an informal meeting of heads of delegation ahead of the formal proceedings and the Commonwealth Evening Reception hosted by the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO).
Ghana’s participation in MWC Doha 2026 forms part of its broader engagement with international partners on digital development, innovation and policies aimed at widening access to connectivity and creating opportunities for citizens and businesses.
