Explore the key insights from the inaugural AI-Native Telco Forum, when more than 130 senior delegates and 1,600 online participants gathered in Düsseldorf to discuss how AI is transforming the telecom industry.
Over two days, leading operators and technology partners showcased real-world deployments in RAN optimisation, core automation, AI engineering, digital sovereignty and the intelligent edge. Speakers from Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Nokia, Rakuten Symphony, IBM, Dell Technologies, Red Hat, Wind River, Intel and others revealed how AI is already improving network performance, efficiency and customer experience.
The report highlights a clear message: AI-native is a new operational mindset. Data must be machine ready, automation must be safe and explainable, and AI must be embedded throughout the network.
