Telenor strongly believes that going forward, none of us are big enough to embark on this digital journey on our own. We need to collaborate. TM Forum is one of the places where true collaboration happens.

“For us Digital Transformation World Series is our go-to annual event, offering unparalleled networking opportunities with telco and technology influencers. We always leave feeling inspired, filled with fresh ideas and ready to tackle future opportunities and challenges.”

“We never stand still on our journey to become better, bigger, faster and seize new opportunities.  Continuous, open discussion enables our transformation and I’m looking forward to the frank exchange and inspiration that TM Forum’s Digital Transformation World Series provides.”

Deutsche Telekom is delighted to be renewing its partnership and engagement with TM Forum for this year’s Digital Transformation World Series. Maintaining a strong spirit of collaboration among industry peers continues to be more important than ever and our teams are looking forward to the exciting agenda as well as networking opportunities.

“As leaders in the telecom industry, we strive to provide world-class communication services using the most advanced technology available. TM Forum’s Digital Transformation World Series provides an exceptional opportunity to hear from industry experts, network with senior leaders, validate our thinking and direction and learn how to meet the demands and rapid changes in our increasingly digitized world. We are delighted to support the event as a service provider partner.”

“Digital technologies are evolving so rapidly that telco providers will need to make strategic choices to stay ahead. Maxis looks forward to the Digital Transformation World Series for the opportunity to participate in stimulating discussions and sharing great ideas. We’re stronger together when we collaborate and actively shape the new digital landscape of the connected world.”

“Telenor is committed to contribute to TM Forum’s Digital Transformation World Series. We will mobilize our markets across Europe and Asia to learn from the content provided, including masterclasses, panel discussions and more.”

“The worldwide telco movement for digital transformation will require companies to evolve, rethink traditional models and adopt new activities. We need open innovation and collaboration to drive industry transformation, which is exactly what the Digital Transformation World Series will be addressing. An essential global platform where we can share powerful ideas, diverse perspectives and collectively inspire action.”

“China Mobile, like other telecom-heritage companies continue our efforts to digitally transform in order to compete in the software-defined digital transformation era. The Digital Transformation World Series is an opportunity for us to share what we’ve learned and collaborate with industry leaders spearheading digital initiatives in their organizations.”

“The collaboration and openness between key players in the telecom/IT industry can be considered as the tie breaker for any successful digital transformation journey. Being  the technology lead in the region, stc is willing to exchange ideas, experiences and  lessons learned with the market main stakeholders.

For us, TM Forum is more than a channel to network and discuss. We believe that TM Forum’s Digital Transformation World Series event is a great chance to shift the mindset of the community towards business value driven breakthrough opportunities.”
