A 31ª edição anual do Global Mobile (Glomo) Awards, que homenageia mais de três décadas de inovação e celebra as mentes brilhantes que estão expandindo os limites da tecnologia móvel, aconteceu na noite desta quarta-feira, 4, no Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026.
“Após mais de três décadas, o Glomo continua sendo o padrão de excelência em nosso setor”, comentou Lara Dewar, diretora de marketing da GSMA.
Ao todo, foram entregues 30 prêmios, em seis categorias, por um júri composto por mais de 250 especialistas independentes de todo o mundo. O Glomo Awards 2026 reconheceu tanto gigantes consolidadas do setor, como Samsung e Apple, até novos entrantes que fomentam a próxima era da conectividade inteligente e inclusiva.
A premiação deste ano também apresentou seis novas categorias com foco em IA, inovação financeira e inclusão digital. São elas: Best AI-Powered Network Solution, AI-Enabled Customer Experience, FinTech & Digital Commerce Innovation, Marketing for Good, Best Device <$150, and Digital Inclusion & Usage-Gap Impact.
Outra novidade do Glomo Awards 2026 é mudança do nome do tradicional D4T Award para #ChangeTheFace Award, para, segundo a organização do evento, refletir a recente integração da Aliança #ChangeTheFace ao programa global Connectivity for Good da GSMA, que homenageia aqueles que impulsionam mudanças significativas em diversidade e inclusão em todo o setor.
