proof-of-concept projects
see innovation come to life
Catalysts are proof-of-concept projects developed collaboratively by TM Forum members from communications service providers and industry stakeholders.
At DTW Asia, Catalyst teams from around the globe will be showcasing their solutions to industry challenges in the innovation zone in the exhibition hall.
Meet them, find out what challenge they are addressing and see a demo of their solution. Keep an eye on the agenda so you don't miss their Catalyst Arena sessions.
