7%Software Mind to host Telco Days 2026, charting telecom's Roadmap to Agentic AI and Safer Networks. Software Mind Published: 2026/10/02 Software Mind, a global technology partner, will return with Telco Days 2026 on November 6. Telco Days is a free online conference built around this year's theme: Roadmap to Agentic AI and Safer Networks. The event brings telecom practitioners together to look beyond the hype at what agentic AI and network security actually change in day-to-day operations, with sessions from Software Mind, Amdocs, Alianza, Next Mobile, ROCCO, IBM, Telefónica and Tallence, alongside a talk on machine intelligence from acclaimed physicist Andrzej Dragan, professor at the University of Warsaw. Telco Days is built by telecom experts for telecom experts. This year's edition concentrates on where AI is genuinely delivering results for operators - from agentic AI that enhances products and workflows to fraud management and security practices that keep networks and customers safe. Sessions favor real-world implementations, demos and lessons learned over theory. "Telecom AI has moved past proofs of concept - operators are putting agentic AI into live products, network operations and fraud management, and finding that autonomy raises the stakes as much as it eases the workload," said Dawid Mielnik, Telecom General Manager at Software Mind. "In telecom, a wrong AI decision costs you service quality, customer trust and real operational risk. That's why agentic AI here must understand networks, not just language. Telco Days brings together the people putting that into practice, so operators can see what production-grade AI and safer networks actually take." Session speakers feature operators, vendors and analysts, and the conference opens with a welcome from Software Mind's Dawid Mielnik. Analyst firm ROCCO will share what more than 300 telecom leaders really think about AI - where it delivers measurable value and why many pilots stall. Telefónica, Tallence and Software Mind will walk the audience through a live charging-platform project and discuss the move from offshore to nearshore delivery, while Next Mobile will examine how AI now sits on both sides of the SMS channel, defending it against generative fraud and powering fraud attempts. Software Mind will also look at network protection and the roadmap for its Amplitiv products, and physicist Andrzej Dragan will step back to ask a broader question: Can machines actually think? Dragan comes to that question from quantum physics: he leads the relativistic quantum information group at the University of Warsaw, holds a visiting professorship at the National University of Singapore, and co-authored The Quantum Principle of Relativity with Artur Ekert, one of the inventors of quantum cryptography. Further sessions will be confirmed on the event page. Alianza, Amdocs and IBM join the event as official partners, while RCR Wireless News and Telecompaper serve as media partners. Telco Days 2026 takes place online on November 6, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. (CET). Registration is free here.

Published: 2026/05/19 Data sovereignty has become a genuine business concern, not just a compliance checkbox. Regulations are tightening, AI governance frameworks are emerging, and organizations across Europe are rethinking where their data lives and who controls it. Software Mind and CloudFerro have joined forces to help companies navigate this landscape with confidence. The partnership brings together two complementary strengths: CloudFerro's sovereign cloud infrastructure - built specifically for organizations that need data physically located within Europe and governed under European law - and Software Mind's engineering depth in designing systems for complex, highly regulated environments. For organizations in life sciences, medtech, healthcare, clinical research, and biotechnology, this matters in concrete terms. When data jurisdiction is unclear, audits stall, timelines slip, and risk exposure grows. Having infrastructure that's compliant by design rather than retrofitted, means teams can focus on their work, not on managing regulatory uncertainty. CloudFerro has built a strong track record working with public institutions, research bodies, and science-driven industries where the stakes around data are high. Software Mind brings a complementary history of delivering systems built to perform in environments where security, regulatory alignment, and long-term reliability are non-negotiable. Together, Software Mind and CloudFerro give organizations a foundation for cloud adoption that works within European regulatory realities - without slowing down what matters most: building, scaling, and delivering. About the partner - CloudFerro. CloudFerro provides innovative cloud services, delivering and operating cloud computing platforms for demanding markets such as the European space sector, climate research, and science. The company's broad experience and in-depth expertise include storing and processing big data sets, such as multi-petabyte repositories of Earth Observation satellite data.
