Open Gateway Round Table – Network APIs for Africa: Accelerating Deployment & Scale

Africa’s digital transformation is accelerating, and the deployment of standardised network APIs is at the heart of this progress. Open Gateway is enabling operators, aggregators, and enterprises to unlock new business models, address real-world challenges, and create sustainable revenue streams by adopting interoperable network APIs at scale. 

Building on the momentum from previous summits, this exclusive round table at MWC Kigali will focus on the unique opportunities and challenges of rolling out network APIs across Africa. The session will spotlight practical deployment strategies, commercial models, and operational best practices tailored to the continent’s diverse needs. 

Participants will hear from industry leaders and early adopters who are driving API-enabled innovation in areas such as fintech, logistics, and AI-powered services. The discussion will also explore the role of the CAMARA project, in standardising and certifying APIs, ensuring interoperability and accelerating adoption across African markets. 

Join a select group of mobile network operators, aggregators, enterprises, and ecosystem partners as we identify the critical enablers for scale, share lessons learned from real deployments, and align on next steps to turn network APIs into repeatable, scalable solutions that deliver measurable value for Africa’s digital economy.
