AI is reshaping digital infrastructure, creating new requirements for networks, cloud, data centers, security, and automation to operate as increasingly interconnected ecosystems. That challenge was at the center of the Mplify Member Summit – EMEA in Lisbon, where members came together to explore the technologies, partnerships, and implementation priorities shaping the future of AI-ready digital infrastructure.
This month's issue explores the key insights from Lisbon, highlights how members are turning those priorities into action, shares new research available to members, and looks ahead to the next opportunities to collaborate through the Global NaaS Events Series.
Whether you're contributing to a committee, sharing a user story, participating in the APAC Member Workshop, or joining us in Boston in September, thank you for helping shape the future of the digital infrastructure ecosystem.
The Mplify Member Summit – EMEA confirmed a shift to agentic, intent‑driven, AI‑ready networks where APIs, automation and orchestration must evolve together.
GSMA Open Gateway is a global framework of standardised network APIs, enabling secure, interoperable access to mobile capabilities at scale.
Mplify members should engage now to shape agent-ready architectures, align LSO and MCP with CAMARA APIs, and lead on identity, trust and certification unlocking new, outcome-based services in the AI era. Find out more.

MPLIFIER MARKET INSIGHTS
Industry Priorities Reinforced in Lisbon
"We want our members to win the deal on the street. That requires infrastructure that's as on-demand as the AI economy itself." — Pascal Menezes, CTO, Mplify
Across keynote presentations, research findings, executive discussions, and member workstreams, three industry shifts consistently emerged as organizations prepare for the next phase of AI-driven transformation.
AI is redefining infrastructure. Distributed AI, AI exchanges, sovereign AI, and edge computing are driving new requirements for performance, resiliency, and intelligent connectivity across networks, cloud, data centers, and compute environments.
Ecosystem coordination is becoming a competitive advantage. As digital services span multiple providers and technology domains, success increasingly depends on interoperability, trusted federation, and common operating frameworks that enable organizations to work together while continuing to differentiate.
The focus has shifted to execution. Conversations centered on deployments, implementation, and commercial adoption rather than future possibilities. Members shared practical lessons from deploying, scaling, and commercializing AI-ready services today.
Discussions in Lisbon reaffirmed Mplify's strategy for helping organizations advance AI-ready digital infrastructure through practical frameworks, standards, APIs, certification, and industry collaboration. Work continues across several priority initiatives:
NaaS Federation
Developing frameworks that simplify collaboration across multi-provider ecosystems while preserving innovation and competition.
Agentic LSO Reference Architecture & Blueprints
Advancing reference architectures, AI agent blueprints, MCP implementations, and proof-of-concept work to explore intelligent lifecycle automation.
NaaS for AI
Defining use cases and implementation guidance for supporting distributed AI workloads.
Quantum-Safe Services Framework
Establishing common approaches for representing and automating quantum-safe services across buyer-seller interactions and operational environments.
Shining a light on the people, companies, and tech driving innovation in our ecosystem.
Trusted Agentic Ordering for AI-Ready NaaS: From STLS-AI Trust Fabric to Secure A2A/MCP Workflows
Sparkle demonstrated how trusted AI agents, supported by the STLS-AI Trust Fabric, can securely automate service ordering using Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication and Model Context Protocol (MCP) workflows.
Building an Interoperable AI Agent Ecosystem for NaaS
NTT DOCOMO explored how interoperable AI agents can collaborate across provider environments using open standards to support intelligent, automated service delivery.
Together, these presentations demonstrate how members are turning industry priorities into real-world solutions that accelerate AI-ready services.
Members will come together for two focused days of hands-on collaboration—advancing active committee projects across a wide range of NaaS-oriented topics.
The Mplify Member Summit – Americas convenes industry leaders for three days of collaboration, learning, and networking focused on the next phase of AI-ready digital infrastructure.
