Innovate Asia 2024 served as a great discussion forum and engagement platform with Communication Service Providers on topics that will drive industry growth and fuel innovation. We engaged with our customers from across the region and held discussions across various curated sessions on topics like 5G network evolution, AI and automation in networks, 5G monetization and growth strategies for CSPs. At the event, held in Thailand last week, we announced our successful collaboration with IOH towards deploying the world’s first full-stack Digital Monetization Platform (DMP), demonstrating an impressive advancement in Indonesia's digital capabilities. As the first of its kind, the platform is part of Ericsson’s Telecom Business Support System (BSS) portfolio and enables #Indosat to enhance digital services such as 5G readiness and advanced B2B solutions. A key milestone in this deployment was the rapid migration of millions of prepaid subscribers in just 18 days, completed seamlessly without any disruptions. We also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with IOH to continue our collaboration in harnessing the potential of Gen AI and Machine Learning (AI/ML) in the realm of DMP and BSS. We also signed a MoU with Bangladesh’s largest mobile telecommunications operator, #Grameenphone, to collaborate on advancing AI and Automation to drive innovation and sustainable transformation throughout Bangladesh. The MoU establishes a collaboration framework, focusing on innovation, growth, and deployment of cutting-edge AI and Automation solutions through technology trials, workshops, and pilot projects. At Ericsson, we have been working with AI for more than a decade and we develop AI solutions to solve the right problems for our customers. We are embedding AI deeply throughout our portfolio and services specific to use cases that can scale to all our customers. Our award-winning AI and Automation solutions will allow Grameenphone to respond even better to the evolving needs of its customers and meet the increasingly complex demands on its network. Look forward to Innovate Asia 2025! #AI #Automation #BSS #Ericsson #InnovateAsia #Singtel #Indosat #Grameenphone #GenAI David Hägerbro Krishna Patil Anders Rian Sopana Prompitak Ludvig Landgren Per Narvinger Neeraj Vyas

🌍 **Africa's Tech Renaissance: A Journey of Innovation and Opportunity** Greetings from #GITEX! 🚀 As I walk through the bustling halls of this tech expo, I'm reminded of the incredible strides that Africa is making in the world of technology. From Lagos to Nairobi, Cape Town to Marrakech, the continent is buzzing with innovation, creativity, and boundless potential. ## **1. The Rise of African Startups** Africa is no longer just a consumer of technology; it's a thriving hub for startups and entrepreneurs. These visionaries are solving local challenges with global impact. Whether it's fintech solutions, agritech advancements, or healthtech breakthroughs, African startups are rewriting the narrative. ## **2. Leapfrogging with Mobile Technology** Mobile phones have become the gateway to opportunity for millions across Africa. With mobile money services, e-commerce platforms, and educational apps, Africans are leapfrogging traditional infrastructure gaps. The mobile revolution is empowering communities and driving economic growth. ## **3. AI, Blockchain, and Beyond** At #GITEX, I've witnessed African companies pushing the boundaries. From AI-powered chatbots improving customer service to blockchain solutions securing supply chains, the tech ecosystem here is dynamic and forward-thinking. Africa isn't just catching up; it's leading the charge. ## **4. Collaborations and Connections** GITEX isn't just about tech; it's about people. Reconnecting with old friends and making new ones reminds me of the power of networking. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a fresh-faced enthusiast, events like these foster collaborations that shape the future. So, next time you hear "Africa Rising," know that it's not just a slogan—it's a reality. The opportunities are vast, the challenges surmountable, and the impact immeasurable.
