BRIDGE Summit 2025 has entered into a strategic partnership with Yango Group, a global technology company operating in more than 30 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and other regions. Under the agreement, Yango will serve as the Summit’s Innovation Partner, contributing its diverse ecosystem of AI-powered mobility solutions, entertainment platforms, smart speaker technologies and robotics to advance the Summit’s goal of fostering a more interconnected global media landscape.
The collaboration comes at a time when the global content economy is undergoing rapid transformation driven by advancements in artificial intelligence, the expansion of creator-led ecosystems and rising demand for inclusive and culturally rooted digital experiences. Yango Group’s multi-sector model, which adapts global technologies to local cultural contexts, aligns closely with BRIDGE Summit’s mission to support a future-ready, interconnected media and content ecosystem.
