The 2023 CTO of the Year Awards and CTO Roundtable sponsored by Rakuten Symphony, will take place at Telecoms Europe LIVE in Central London on Tuesday 6th June 2023. 

It is one of Mobile Europe’s flagship initiatives, started in 2014 and enjoying enthusiastic reception and engagement from operators ever since.

Over the years, we have enjoyed the participation and insights from CTOs or equivalent top-tier technical executives heading mobile operators from Europe as well as Middle East and Africa, including Telefonica, Orange, T-Mobile, Elisa, Telenor, Etisalat / e&, Tele2, A1 and many others. 

The 2023 edition will see leading network operators based in Europe and beyond, competing for two Awards:

• THE TRAILBLAZER who can demonstrate that their company is offering services beyond connectivity – what additional services are on offer and to whom?
• THE GAMECHANGER is responsible for carrying out the core business but not as usual – creating efficient and effective infrastructure and operations and business models that make use of technologies such as AI, analytics, automation, open platforms and APIs.

The winners will be unveiled at the conclusion of the CTO Roundtable taking place in the Boardroom at our Telecoms Europe LIVE event on 6th June 2023, to which all the shortlisted CTOs will be invited.
