Meng Pu, chairman of Qualcomm China, said at the "Global 5G Technology Cooperation Forum" held on the sidelines of the World 5G Congress. He also explained that 5G can be applied in many vertical fields, such as Internet of vehicles, autonomous driving, machinery control, industrial manufacturing, energy development, smart agriculture, smart cities, etc. At the same time, 5G can bring huge economic value. By 2035, 5G will contribute 13.1 trillion US dollars of global value output.
In her speech at the forum, Meng also explained how Qualcomm will cooperate with Chinese industrial partners to jointly promote the progress of 5G technology and the development of 5G industry. He said that Qualcomm always puts research and development first, and has invested more than $75 billion in research and development so far, enabling Qualcomm to achieve fundamental technological breakthroughs in 5G and beyond. Qualcomm actively shares the results of innovation with industrial partners in the form of technology licensing or chip products.In the smartphone industry, Qualcomm launched the "5G Pilot Plan" as early as 2018 by leading enterprises in the United Nations to develop the first batch of 5G equipment terminals for the global market. Since the implementation of the plan, the top five Chinese handset makers have increased their share of the global handset market by more than a third.
