“The agentic AI narrative has moved from a feature in a product portfolio to a strategic architecture claim.”

Our observations and takeaways from the 2026 Copenhagen DTW Ignite event, this report is drawn largely from show-floor briefings and 1:1 conversations rather than public, open-forum material. Autonomous Networks and Agentic AI framed most discussions – with plenty of sub-topics to explore – but monetization (and BSS more widely) also proved to be a strong theme.

We highlight updates from major OSS/BSS vendors — Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei, Amdocs, Blue Planet, ServiceNow, Netcracker, Oracle, and the hyperscalers — with topics such as governance, ontology, and interoperability questions now shaping strategies. We also highlight the event profile of new names (if experienced players) such as Numodata and Wavelo.

For OSS/BSS practitioners, CSP strategy teams, and investors tracking the telecom AI shift, this report offers a distinct perspective on the state of OSS and BSS.
