# IOTE Shenzhen 2026: Semtech and the LoRa Ecosystem Chart the Next Chapter of IoT Innovation
Swaroop Chitturi
The 2026 LoRa® Global Ecosystem Forum, held during the International Internet of Things Exhibition (IOTE) 2026 in Shenzhen, once again brought together customers, ecosystem partners, developers, and media from across the industry to explore the future of LoRa technology and the continued growth of its global ecosystem. Despite challenging weather conditions in Shenzhen on the day of the event, the forum drew a strong turnout that reinforced the leadership Semtech has built across the LoRa ecosystem. Adding to the momentum, the Semtech [LoRa Plus™ LR2021](https://www.semtech.com/products/wireless-rf/lora-plus/lr2021) received the 2026 25th IOTE Gold Award – Innovative Product Award, further validating the innovation behind this next-generation LoRa platform.
This year's forum captured a clear shift in the ecosystem's focus. Where past conversations centered on understanding the capabilities of LR2021, this year's discussions moved decisively toward real-world deployment business models, commercialization pathways and production-ready solutions built on next-generation LoRa technology.
The 2026 LoRa Global Ecosystem Forum opened with a keynote from [Mike Wong](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-wong-6166064/), vice president of sales at Semtech, who set the tone with “LoRa Connects the Future Industries and Global Markets.” Henry Huang, vice chair of the LoRa Alliance® Board and CEO of Browan Communications, followed with a look at how LoRaWAN® continues to underpin a thriving global Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem.
