FYUZ 2025 Post-Event Report

Fyuz 2025 brought the global telecom ecosystem together in Dublin for three days of collaboration, innovation, and real-world progress, and the numbers speak for themselves. Over 1,000+ attendees, 225+ speakers, 38 sponsors and exhibitors, and representatives from 42 countries joined us to shape the future of open, disaggregated, AI-driven networks.

This year’s program featured 41 content sessions, a strengthened operator presence across major CSPs worldwide, and the industry’s most engaged conversations around Open RAN, OpenLAN, optical transport, agentic AI, and autonomous networks. The energy and momentum from operators, vendors, integrators, hyperscalers, and researchers were felt across every panel, booth, and networking space.

We kicked off the week with the Breaking Barriers for Agentic Networks Hackathon, hosted in partnership with AWS, bringing together 377 participants across 68 projects, with winning teams having their work showcased on the Main Stage at Fyuz.

We also partnered with the IOWN Global Forum, CONNECT Centre, and Smart Docklands to deliver a powerful All-Photonic Plug & Play 360° live demonstration at Trinity College Dublin, highlighting the future of integrated photonic networking.

AI took center stage throughout the event, from the TelcoAI Innovation Forum to the Data & AI Foundations BoF, illustrating how operators and technology leaders are moving decisively toward AI-native architectures, data-centric operations, and intent-driven networks.

Ericsson delivered a focused session on high-performing programmable networks highlighting how AI RAN, intelligent automation, and openness are converging to drive the next wave of network performance. Through customer examples and partner-led achievements, Ericsson emphasized the importance of ecosystem collaboration and co-creation in building agile, efficient, future-ready networks.

We also welcomed the NGMN Alliance for bringing together leaders from Orange, TELUS, Telefónica, and NGMN to examine AI’s impact on network evolution, continuous innovation, sustainability, and the 6G priorities that matter most to operators, standards bodies, and end users.

A huge thank you to our sponsors, exhibitors, content partners, and the 60+ CSPs represented onsite for making this year’s event the most collaborative and future-focused Fyuz yet. Your engagement, insights, and support continue to shape the evolution of open networks.

And a special shoutout to TelecomTV, our Official Media Partner, for capturing in-depth interviews and industry perspectives throughout the week, which are now available to watch online.
