Projects
Innovation Hub core projects
Core projects in the Innovation Hub deliver on one of TM Forum’s three Missions: Composable IT and Ecosystems, Autonomous Networks, Trustworthy AI and Data.
They address a current industry challenge and provide a solution with measurable, industry-wide impact. Explore the projects below.
ODA accelerator
Creating the ODA Reference Canvas: a live environment for designing, testing and validating interoperable solutions.
Agentic innovation
A collaborative sandbox where Members experiment with generative AI and agentic systems in real telecom environments, delivering practical outcomes aligned with ODA.
Component CTK conformance tooling
Developing a standardized ODA Component Conformance Test Kit (CTK) to validate API, event, security and deployment compliance.
Event driven ODA
Aims to build & validate scalable, AI-native interaction patterns through working code, real scenarios, and multi-vendor collaboration across TM Forum.
