gfu & Messe Berlin & GfK Opening
"Despite the scale down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, both our partner Messe Berlin and we are confident that the IFA 2020 Special Edition will be successful. As an innovation platform with numerous presentations of new products IFA will provide important impulses at the right time in the run-up to the highest-turnover period."
Kai Hillebrandt, chairman of the supervisory board of gfu Consumer & Home Electronics GmbH, organizer of IFA (Watch the summary of his speech.)
"Having IFA 2020 as a real-life event, that is a sign, it is a symbol for all of us to show that we can look beyond. Beyond the pandemic, beyond the economic fall-out, beyond all the uncertainties. There is a normal ahead. But it is up to all of us - industry, retailers, media and consumers - to look to the future, and build and shape the 'normal' that is going to emerge."
Jens Heithecker, Executive Director IFA Berlin ( Watch the summary of his speech.)
"We live in a world of disruption, acceleration and data overload. This is why companies need to be able to identify the right signal from noise - faster than ever before - and also the reason why we transformed GfK radically to become a tech company. 'gfknewron' is GfK's proprietary AI-powered software platform, which delivers fast and actionable recommendations based on trusted data."
Peter Feld, CEO of GfK ( Watch the summary of his speech.)
Qualcomm
"Over 80 operators have launched 5G networks in almost 40 countries. With over 300 more investing in the technology and device makers are equally active. There are now over 660 designs announced or in development based on Qualcomm's portfolio of 5G solutions."
Cristiano Amon, President of Qualcomm (Watch the summary of his speech.)
Huawei

Our combination of market leading hardware and an open, fast-growing, and innovative mobile services ecosystem, which is brought to life through our expanding retail footprint, is giving Europeans the chance to experience a taste of the future for themselves."
Walter Ji, President of Huawei Consumer BG, Europe ( Watch the summary of his speech.)
