Telco AI startups to watch
The telecom AI market is small today and heavily hyped, but the money is real and growing. A report from Presedence Research values the sector at $2.66 billion now and projects it could reach $50.21 billion by 2034. That shift, from slideware to live deployments in networks, is creating room for a wave of new startups focused on practical uses of AI in telecom operations.
These companies are building tools to automate network management, improve customer support, and optimize how operators run their infrastructure. As telcos move from experiments to production rollouts, the startups that can show clear savings or new revenue stand to benefit most from the sector’s rapid expansion.
