Ericsson has revealed its new purpose and vision to imagine possibilities of limitless connectivity.
Ericsson has forecasted 3.5 billion 5G subscriptions and 60 percent global population coverage by 2026.
Börje Ekholm, President and CEO, Ericsson, says: “For almost 150 years our technology has transformed nearly every sector of society. The networks we build have already connected billions of people and soon they will connect almost anything and everything. This era of hyper-connectivity is going to help to address major global challenges like climate change and digital inclusion.”
Ekholm continues: “Our new purpose and vision are anchored in the company’s values of respect, professionalism, perseverance and integrity. We remain steadfast in our efforts to foster a culture of integrity by embedding our values into all ways of working. This important work continues, and we are committed to creating greater accountability, trust and respect with our people, customers and stakeholders while ensuring sustainable success for the company in the future.”
“Our vision imagines the future we can help to create for people, business, and the planet,” says Stella Medlicott, SVP and Head of Group Function Marketing and Corporate Relations, Ericsson. “Connectivity is key to reducing human impact on the planet and will help bridge the digital divide, but we also see the potential for our technology to touch even more parts of society. This is where things get interesting.”
The scale of this technology shift is going to unleash an entirely new wave of innovation to address some of the planet’s most pressing issues.
