Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines, June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Globe, a leading telco and digital solutions platform in the Philippines, has taken a significant step forward in accelerating digital innovation.  The mobile leader signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the GSM Association (GSMA) to improve the interoperability and delivery of mobile services across different networks worldwide through collaboration and standardization.

Ernest Cu, Globe President and CEO (L), and Julian M. Gorman, GSMA Asia Pacific Head, sign an MOU marking Globe’s entry into GSMA’s Open Gateway, June 21, 2024.
Ernest Cu, Globe President and CEO (L), and Julian M. Gorman, GSMA Asia Pacific Head, sign an MOU marking Globe’s entry into GSMA’s Open Gateway, June 21, 2024.

This strategic partnership grants Globe access to the GSMA Open Gateway, an Applications Programming Interface (API)  facility that represents a significant shift in how the telecom industry designs and delivers services within an API-driven economy.

By utilizing a common set of open source APIs that can be reused for different purposes, developers and cloud providers could gain access to operator networks via single points of entry or access, enabling rapid service deployment across the world’s largest connectivity platform. In addition, GSMA’s Open Gateway unlocks the full potential of 5G networks, allowing developers to create relevant and transformative services that can leverage on our  network’s 5G capacity and security.

“Today marks a milestone for Globe as we embrace the GSMA Open Gateway initiative, teaming up with 40 mobile network operators to develop Mobile Network Open APIs,” said Ernest L. Cu, President and CEO of Globe during the recent MOU signing attended by Julian M. Gorman, GSMA Asia Pacific Head.

“This groundbreaking effort allows real-time access and interconnection with the Globe network via open global APIs, opening up numerous opportunities for delivering more value to our customers and generating new revenue streams,” he added.

Welcoming Globe to the initiative, Gorman, said: “It’s great news that Globe Telecom and the mobile industry in the Philippines are getting behind our global GSMA Open Gateway initiative. By doing so, they’re helping developers gain universal access to operator networks both within the country and around the world through a set of common APIs. This will help drive the mobile economy and the launch of new services that deliver better customer experiences, combat fraud and unleash new functionality in 5G networks. We welcome Globe Telecom to this innovative new programme.” 

GSMA’s Open Gateway launched with eight network APIs – SIM Swap API, Quality on Demand API, Device Status API, Number Verification API, Simple Edge Discovery API, One Time Password (SMS) API, Carrier Billing – Check Out API, and Device Location API. These APIs enable a wide range of capabilities, from enhancing security and fraud prevention to facilitating secure authentication and enabling location-based services.

Globe recognizes the vast potential of these common APIs in eHealth, agritech, emergency services,  carbon accounting, and the Internet-of-Things (IoT) among other sectors. Open APIs can also benefit industries such as education through the integration of mobile learning platforms into school curricula; entertainment, by providing personalized content recommendations and interactive features to enhance user experience; secure eCommerce and transportation via improved traffic management systems and real-time updates on public transportation schedules.

“Leveraging open APIs across various sectors will help us significantly scale our ICT portfolio, even as we pursue our mission to solve our customers’ pain points at scale. Enabling seamless integration and innovation will significantly help API development and improve user experiences,” said Cu.

Open Gateway will also allow Globe to optimize its 5G network, including its use for Internet of Things (IoT) and deliver exceptional services for both its individual and business customers.

As Globe continues to thrive through strategic partnerships, the company is proud to join GSMA’s initiative, aligning with its purpose of uplifting lives through technology.

“We are incredibly grateful to GSMA for providing an opportunity for mobile network operators to explore and unlock the potential of Open APIs and 5G technology.  GSMA’s vision and initiative have paved the way for groundbreaking solutions across multiple industries, enhancing how we live and work. We look forward to continued collaboration, driving innovation and delivering transformative solutions to our customers,” concluded Cu.

Marshall Mao, General Manager of Yaber, commented: “After months of development with JBL we are delighted to bring our customers a truly portable cinema experience.” He continued: “Extra effort was put into upgrading the outdoor use of the Projector T2/T2 Plus.

The handle can also be further rotated to lift the projector up to 15° off the floor to provide extra projection range.

Designed to light up parties with style

Embracing modern minimalism, the Projector T2/T2 Plus adds style and elegance to the party as it draws attention through its alluring yet cheerful design with soft curved edges, warm color palette and sleek aesthetics.

Automatic focus and keystone correction

The Projector T2/T2 Plus also saves the time and hassle of making additional setups.

L’Oréal Hong Kong’s recent launch introduced the city’s first open innovation accelerator dedicated to the beauty industry. Partnering with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) and Business France Hong Kong, the program prioritizes “Customer Experience Transformation.” The goal is to craft immersive, multi-sensory experiences within brand spaces, elevating customer interactions and bringing brand stories to life in captivating new ways.

L’Oréal Japan and Korea both celebrated successful first years of the program, with participants gaining significant recognition and several already collaborating with L’Oréal. Building on this momentum, L’Oréal Japan will continue its strategic partnership with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to advance research and innovation (R&I) in cutting-edge skin and hair care technologies. Similarly, L’Oréal Korea, having formalized its collaboration with the Ministry of SMEs and Startup through an MOU at Viva Tech 2023, will deepen its focus on R&I while expanding the program with a dedicated digital track.

As the origin point of the Big Bang program, L’Oréal China continues its trajectory of impactful progress, covering comprehensive tracks including Future Science, Phygital Consumer, Operation 4.0, Gen AI and Sustainability. Fostering increasingly sophisticated projects and achieving tangible results. This is exemplified by the recent Viva Technology event, where CITIBIOTECH, a French startup specializing in 3D skin printing and winner of the Big Bang China French Channel, signed a strategic MOU with “Oriental Beauty Valley,” a Chinese government-affiliated incubation organization. This partnership will pave the way for CITIBIOTECH’s successful entry into the Chinese market. This milestone represents the first achievement stemming from a partnership agreement signed by L’Oréal, Business France, and the Oriental Beauty Valley during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to China in April 2023. 

Launched in 2021 with Business France as a strategic partner, the Big Bang China French Channel empowers cutting-edge French startups to expand their reach into the Chinese market. It has successfully recruited around 50 French startups to participate in the Big Bang China program by 2023.

Since its inception, Big Bang has engaged over 2,000 companies, brought more than 50 business projects to fruition, and fuelled real-world innovation. A prime example is the nanochip technology developed by a previous Big Bang China participant, now featured in Lancôme’s RENERGIE NANO-RESURFACER| 400 BOOSTER, debuting at VivaTech.

Big Bang provides startups and SMEs with an invaluable platform to scale their businesses, connect with government agencies, industry leaders, and investors, and showcase their innovations on a global stage at events like the China International Import Expo (CIIE) and Viva Technology. L’Oréal’s investment in Shinehigh, winner of the 2022 Big Bang China program, exemplifies the company’s dedication to nurturing and accelerating promising beauty tech ventures.
