As the CPaaS Acceleration Alliance, we are thrilled to announce our participation in the GSMA Open Gateway Initiative (OGI) Pavilion at MWC Barcelona 2025. This marks an exciting milestone in our ongoing collaboration with GSMA and our commitment to advancing the adoption and innovation of Network APIs.
A Year of Collaboration on Network API Use Cases
Over the past year, we’ve worked closely with our members and partners to explore, document, and refine real-world Network API use cases. These use cases are not just theoretical; they are part of our comprehensive Service Provider Playbook, which now includes nearly 100 tangible examples of how Network APIs drive innovation and revenue generation.
This collaboration reflects our mission to move beyond technology and focus on real business outcomes. By working with leading telcos, CPaaS providers, and technology partners, we’ve helped shape the conversation around how these APIs can unlock new opportunities in verticals like healthcare, logistics, and finance. Our inclusion in the OGI Pavilion this year is a testament to that work.
Why the OGI Pavilion?
Last year, we had our own booth at MWC Barcelona, a significant step for our growing Alliance. However, this year, joining the OGI Pavilion feels like the perfect evolution. It places us at the heart of a vibrant and fast-growing community that is redefining telecom and digital transformation.
The OGI Pavilion, led by GSMA, is more than just an exhibition space—it’s a hub for innovation and collaboration. Being part of this initiative aligns seamlessly with our unique focus on best practices, revenue generation, and growth strategies for the CPaaS industry. Unlike traditional showcases, we bring a practical, results-oriented perspective that is invaluable to businesses looking to make an impact.
Our presence in the Pavilion highlights the importance of combining technology, strategy, and execution. As the industry continues to evolve, we’re proud to champion the business models and partnerships that drive success.

I've spent my career in IT and telecoms building bridges, from the early days of cloud communications to today's reset around APIs, CPaaS and AI.
As Founding Partner of The Next Cloud and CPaaSAA, I help telcos, CPaaS players and AI-native scaleups work out where they fit in the AI era, through strategy, ecosystem building and events.
My view: the value is moving from platforms to outcomes, and real innovation comes from ecosystems, not incumbents acting alone.
