Celebrating Innovation and Advocacy: Honoring the 2025 Somos Industry Award Recipients

Oct 22, 2025

Each year at the Somos Summit, we take a moment to pause and celebrate what truly powers progress across our industry — the people and organizations whose leadership, creativity and commitment to trust continue to shape the future of communications.

During this year’s Somos Industry Awards, we were proud to recognize two exceptional organizations whose work exemplifies the spirit of innovation, collaboration and advocacy that defines our community.

The Trailblazer Award honors those who demonstrate extraordinary leadership and innovation — organizations that don’t just imagine change but make it happen.

This year’s recipient, ANI Networks, embodies that spirit of progress through its unwavering commitment to collaboration, transparency and transformation across the telecom ecosystem.

ANI Networks has helped create new pathways for interoperability, fostered partnerships that strengthen trust and advanced solutions that connect people and businesses with greater reliability and confidence.

Their work serves as a powerful example of how innovation and partnership can drive meaningful change — helping to ensure that the future of telecom is more connected, efficient and trusted than ever before.

The Advocacy Award celebrates those who champion ethical responsibility, transparency and human protection in our increasingly interconnected world.

This year’s honoree, The Knoble, has built a global coalition dedicated to one profound mission: protecting people from financial crimes, exploitation and human trafficking.

Through collaboration across industries, governments and communities, The Knoble is uniting the fight against fraud and exploitation — reminding us all that advocacy and trust must always begin with humanity at their core.

Their efforts extend far beyond communications, touching lives and strengthening the very foundation of trust that underpins our digital world.

As Somos President & CEO Gina Perini shared during the ceremony, the Industry Awards reflect the values that make our community strong — vision and advocacy. Both ANI Networks and The Knoble embody these principles through their dedication to progress, integrity and collaboration.

At Somos, we’re proud to celebrate their achievements and the broader spirit of innovation that continues to drive our industry forward.

Congratulations once again to our 2025 Somos Industry Award recipients — ANI Networks and The Knoble — for leading with purpose and helping shape a stronger and more connected future for all.
