Panel Discussion
During this session, our experts looked into what it takes to turn APIs into revenue: Standardisation (such as Camara and Open Gateway), federation for true coverage, and a shift from ‘API-as-a-product’ to solution-led offers. There is early traction in fraud prevention, authentication, number verification and quality-on-demand, with AI agents emerging as the next big consumers of network capabilities. The panel also tackled pricing realism, developer experience and how ecosystems/CPaaS partners will drive demand at scale.
