Our third panel today at the Telecom Review ME Summit was moderated by Salience’s Head of Strategic Partnerships, Dr. Ammar Hamadien, who contributed valuable insights aligned with our ongoing mission to shape the future of telecom and ICT.
He discussed the topic alongside key industry leaders, including Johannes Hummer, CEO, Freedom Telecom International; Eamon Tian, VP, Digital Operation Transformation Domain ME&CA Region, Huawei; Edgard Hanna Tawk, CEO and Co-Founder, Eurisko; Sedat K., General Manager (Acting), du Pay.
As moderator, Dr. Hamadien led the panel “Fintech – The New Pillar for Telcos,” guiding a dynamic conversation on the rise of fintech-as-a-service and how telcos can repurpose their OSS/BSS systems to deliver banking-as-a-service capabilities. The panel also explored whether telcos could evolve into the “next central bank for the people,” while examining how APIs can modernize native telco operations and help bridge the financial digital divide.
