2025 Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF 2025)

Invitation

We cordially invite you to the 11th Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF 2025), scheduled to take place from October 13 to 14, 2025 in Paris, France.

Since its inception in London in 2014 over a decade ago, UBBF has helped to fuel the huge advancements of the ultra-broadband industry. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of global industry organizations and partners, UBBF has evolved into the premier annual gathering in the ultra-broadband domain. It serves as a vital catalyst for supporting industry dialogues, fostering in-depth collaboration across the industry chain, and cultivating a sustainable industry ecosystem.

Today, the era of artificial general intelligence (AGI) is fast approaching. This unlocks new growth opportunities for operators while presenting the ultra-broadband industry with both unprecedented challenges and opportunities. As terminals like AI phones, glasses, and PCs are gaining widespread adoption and digital homes are evolving into smart homes, carriers must continuously expand their service boundaries through network and cloud capabilities to provide diverse smart applications for users. The massive demand for computing interconnectivity and device-cloud synergy requires operator networks to deliver elastic ultra-broadband, deterministic low latency, and secure, reliable services. Meanwhile, AI is introduced into networks, with agents at the core, to accelerate the evolution of UBB networks toward Highly Autonomous Networks.

This year's forum will gather elites from all areas of the industry, including global operators, industry partners, regulators, standards organizations, and industry alliances. Under the theme "Thrive with UBB Advanced for All Intelligence" we will explore innovative business models, enrich the industry ecosystem, and seize new growth opportunities in the AI era.

Thank you for your continued interest and support for the ultra-broadband industry. We eagerly anticipate meeting you in Paris to chart the future course of our industry.

Board Member, CEO of the ICT Business Group, Huawei
