When discussing 5G, often the tendency is to focus on innovations that are happening in large tech conglomerates, or governments. But, what if by thinking in this way, we are missing a key market? According to Vodafone UK, we are. Perhaps unexpectedly, it is the hunger from SMEs and local communities that are driving the demand for 5G solutions at Vodafone UK. And it is this demand, which has led them to build partnerships with several third-party providers, to enhance its ecosystem and subsequently improve its technological offering. In this episode of Accelerators, we speak to Danny Kelly, Head of Innovation at Vodafone UK, whose role is to ‘stitch' these partnerships together. We learn more about the ecosystem Vodafone UK has created and how co-creation allows them to respond in a fast and agile manner to their clients' needs. Stream the episode now to learn more about how Vodafone UK's solutions can help everyone to go further, faster, and beyond. “We largely expected to see most of the early adoption happen in major MNCs, in that multinational corporate space.
