Qatar-based Ooredoo Group announced it is collaborating with Ericsson-led open network API joint venture Aduna to make its open network APIs available to businesses across the MENA region and around the world via the Aduna platform. The partnership, revealed on Thursday, enables banks, fintech firms, e-commerce platforms and digital service providers to integrate directly with Ooredoo’s standardised open network APIs, including identity verification, SIM swap, KYC, payments, and communications. Ooredoo said it will gradually onboard its operating companies into the Aduna ecosystem by 2027, providing global developers and enterprises with a single point of access to Ooredoo’s digital capabilities. This will enable secure, cross-border digital transactions without the need for complex integrations or multiple local agreements, said Rene Werner, Ooredoo’s group chief strategy officer and acting group chief commercial officer. “With this collaboration, we are turning network intelligence into practical business value,” he said in a statement. “Businesses can now plug Ooredoo APIs into their platforms and deliver safer, faster, and more innovative digital services to customers wherever they are.” Werner added that the tie-up with Aduna marks another step in Ooredoo’s strategy to cash in on the “global API economy”, in which telcos are opening their networks to enable innovation, interoperability, and new revenue models across industries. “From CAMARA to Aduna, we’re building the full value chain for scalable, interoperable APIs that empower innovation,” he said. Ooredoo jumped on the API bandwagon in January this year when it joined the GSMA Open Gateway Initiative, which defines global standards for open telecom APIs based on the Linux Foundation’s CAMARA standard.
