Session Description
The Open Gateway Channel Partner Innovation Round Table is heavily over-subscribed. Registration is now closed. Only those attendees who have their attendance approved will be admitted. Priority has been given to VIP pass holders.
If you were unable to attend the round table, please register for the Open Gateway Summit on Wed 4 Mar 2026 at 09:00 - 13:00hrs. Thank you for your interest in Open Gateway.
As the Open Gateway initiative enters a new phase of global adoption, this exclusive round table brings together GSMA’s Channel Partners to accelerate the next wave of network API innovation and commercial success. Join industry leaders, innovators, and network architects for a focused, interactive session designed to turn global opportunity into repeatable, partner-led execution.
Across three 40-minute deep-dive sessions, we’ll explore:
1. Scaling Demand Through Fusion
Discover how GSMA Fusion is catalysing demand for Open Gateway solutions, enabling channel partners to aggregate and fulfil global use cases at scale. Learn how solution demand is identified, aggregated, and delivered across markets and operators, and what commercial and operational models are needed to ensure consistent, repeatable growth.
2. Partner-Led Go-to-Market
A practical discussion on the commercial, technical, and operational enablers required for partners to take Open Gateway solutions to market at scale. We’ll address packaging, onboarding, regional variation, and how partners can align with operator capabilities while maintaining global consistency.
3. From APIs to Outcomes
Move beyond individual APIs to solution-level thinking. Explore how channel partners can combine multiple Open Gateway capabilities into outcome-driven services that resonate with enterprise buyers, developers, and vertical industries.
This round table is your opportunity to shape the future of the Open Gateway ecosystem, share best practices, and build the partnerships that will define the next era of programmable networks.
