European Open Gateway Market Champions Workshop (Invite-Only)

Driving the Next Phase of Open Gateway Adoption in Europe

Chaired by Johanna Wood, Vodafone & Jill Cooper, GSMA

Sponsored by the GSMA.

Synopsis

Europe’s Open Gateway journey has moved beyond launch announcements and strategic commitments. The next challenge is scaling commercial adoption, delivering measurable business outcomes, and establishing Europe as the global leader in network API monetisation.

This exclusive MNO-only Market Champions Workshop brings together senior leaders from Europe’s leading operators to exchange practical experiences, tackle common barriers, and accelerate the commercialization of network APIs across the region.

The session will focus on how operators can move from ambition to execution – sharing lessons learned from live deployments, ecosystem engagement, developer adoption, anti-fraud initiatives, Communications Quality (QoD) implementation, and emerging commercial opportunities. Participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with peers who are shaping the future of Open Gateway, discuss market-specific challenges, and identify collective actions that can accelerate progress across Europe.

Designed to be highly interactive, enabling candid discussion, peer learning, and collaborative problem solving among operators at different stages of their Open Gateway journeys.

Join the operators shaping the future of Open Gateway in Europe.

Hear first-hand experiences from leading markets, discover what is working in commercial deployments, explore emerging opportunities in fraud prevention and network APIs, and help define the next phase of Europe’s Open Gateway growth story.
