Our Hubs will host – both physically and virtually – teams comprised of talent from TM Forum members. Participating companies contribute a range of expertise and resources to the hub, including experts, physical space, technology capabilities and professional services.

The Innovation Hub initiative builds on the Forum’s successful [Catalyst program](https://www.tmforum.org/catalysts) that has delivered hundreds of innovative, practical solutions to telco challenges over the past decade. Hubs are a new, unique way for the global telecoms industry to collaborate at speed, providing longer-term, dedicated resources to industrialise concepts explored by the Catalysts. The emphasis is on delivering ‘real world’ solutions with immediate business impact: working code and concepts proven in operational or shadow-operational environments.

This is a pilot to help us find the best ways of working and the most efficient use of resources. The outcomes are designed to benefit all our members. - Testing and iterating TM Forum standards, providing valuable implementation experience to core standards development teams. - Accelerating the development of code assets (for example, Open Digital Architecture components and Open APIs) - Industrializing concepts explored in the Catalyst program, sharing the learnings with the broader industry Watch the opening of the first TM Forum Innovation Hub in Navi Mumbai, proudly hosted by Jio, [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE8UIJRHi7E)
