DTW Ignite

Intelligent telecom made real.

The telecom industry is at a defining moment. Turning ambition into advantage now depends on how fast you can innovate – across your business, technologies, services, and even your identity.

Capgemini is excited to join DTW Ignite 2026, bringing the new DTW theme “The Future. Faster.” to life by proofing how telcos and network providers make intelligent telecom real. From AI‑powered and autonomous networks to composable IT and ecosystem-driven innovation, we focus on moving from bold ideas to measurable outcomes at speed.

Join our experts at the Capgemini café to discuss how to accelerate value with AI, data, and end-to-end transformation and turn vision into reality to reach the future faster.
