More than 2500 years ago, Chinese philosopher Laozi explained how the myriad creatures in the universe are created and thrive in "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets everything." Today, this classical philosophical thought still provides insights in our world where the digital tide with its generative force is sweeping across different industries.

From standards development to technology R&D, from product development to network deployment, from service innovation to cooperation with vertical industries, the ultimate goal of 5G is to create a wide range of digital applications and empower a wide range of industries to change the world.

On June 6, 2022, we will celebrate the third anniversary of the issuance of commercial 5G licenses in China. To explore how to harness the generative power of 5G, C114, a top ICT news site with millions of professional users, is presenting the "Thrive with 5G" event series.

As an important part and the only live online event of the series, the Expert Forum invites experts from GSMA, CAICT, telecom operators, vendors, and vertical industries to share their views on 5G network growth, 5G technology evolution, industry applications, and digital economy enablement towards a thriving future with 5G.
