The BeOpen initiative is a project of Belgacom that allows its partners to add network capabilities and intelligence to their applications, creating differentiation for consumer services and enabling productivity gains for business applications. The main goal of the BeOpen initiative is to create a vibrant ecosystem of application developers that will benefit Belgacom’s customers and partners through the creation of innovative new services.

Through BeOpen initiative Belgacom’s core network assets will be made available to its partners as web services-based APIs.
