The conversation around is no longer about potential—it is about ex*****on.
We are thrilled to officially announce the 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗫𝗢 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲! This year, as we celebrate a milestone 10th anniversary, we gather under a powerful theme: "𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲" 🧠💡.

How can operators move beyond the hype and leverage their unique distributed infrastructure and data to turn AI into scaled, commercial value?

We were delighted to attend the 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 in 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞, 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 last week! Hosted by Odido Nederland this year, the annual gathering is a fantastic opportunity for Bridge Alliance to connect with our partner alliance FreeMove and its stakeholders in person!

At the Summit, our CEO Boon Chee Loo participated in a roundtable, where he joined Darren Buttrick (BT Group), Stefan Grosse Onnebrink (Deutsche Telekom), Diego Camberos (du), Martijn Teekens (Odido Nederland), Dragana Štiklica (Telekom Srbija) and Cem Akisoglu (T-Mobile) to discuss how each of our organisations could bring more value to FreeMove and how to win more MNC customers together through our partnership.

It is so important for us at Bridge Alliance to look beyond our home region of APAC occasionally and explore new ideas! We’re delighted to benefit from more insights, perspectives and sharing from Europe operators, and had the opportunity to meet many other new friends, partners and even customers.

Thanks to Selma Avdagic Tisljar, Doruntina Mekshi, Mathias Nordqvist, Carolina Ramirez, Roxana Pietreanu, and everyone else from FreeMove and Odido Nederland for having us and organising the Summit! It’s always a pleasure!

The last week was a busy and productive one across the region for the Bridge Alliance team!

Our first stop was Bangkok, where we held the 𝟰𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, jointly hosted with Syniverse. We were also delighted to participate in the 2026 Syniverse 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, where our Associate Director, Roaming & Products, Sim Siew Siew, joined a panel discussion on how personalised and tailored roaming experiences can enhance customer satisfaction and engagement.

Next, we went over to Macau for our 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩, graciously hosted by CTM Buddy. The workshop looked at supply chain resiliency and strategic procurement across all areas, primary focusing on IT and Networks to unlock greater value for our member operators in the months ahead.

We then popped over to Shenzhen, home to some of China’s leading technology innovators. The team had insightful visits to Tencent 腾讯 to explore potential enterprise partnerships and learn more about the company’s AI initiatives, as well as to ZTE Corporation to discover the latest developments in products and services for 6G, an area where China is emerging as an early adopter.

A big thank you to all our hosts, partners, and participants for the warm hospitality and meaningful discussions as we continue to shape our enterprise business together!

Hot off the shelf! We’ve published our latest 💡 quarterly insights 💡 on activities among the Bridge community, including a snapshot of industry chatter arising from MWC Barcelona.

One clear takeaway is that AI is no longer a pilot or a side initiative. It is rapidly becoming the organising layer of the entire telco stack – from network maintenance and customer experience to security and enterprise products. There is growing momentum around more advanced, autonomous, agentic capabilities driving new enterprise use cases. Meanwhile, sovereignty is emerging as a strategic differentiator in service offerings, and is no longer just a compliance burden – trust, local control, and regulatory alignment are now competitive weapons in enterprise play.

Across the board, one theme is clear: collaboration and platform thinking are becoming critical as the industry moves up the value chain.
