Top Announcements from WSO2Con 2025 You Can’t Miss

Introduction

WSO2Con 2025 has officially wrapped up, and what an event it was! Hosted in the vibrant city of Barcelona from March 18–20, the conference brought together over 500 attendees from 45 different countries. Among them were CXOs, IT executives, architects, and enterprise developers, all eager to explore the latest advancements shaping the future of enterprise technology.

If you weren’t able to attend or just want a refresher of the highlights, here’s a curated recap of the biggest announcements that defined this year’s WSO2Con.

AI at the core of the WSO2 ecosystem

Artificial Intelligence (AI) took center stage at WSO2Con 2025, making its way into every corner of the WSO2 product portfolio. AI is now embedded as a native capability across the entire WSO2 software stack, enabling enterprises to easily create (code), integrate, manage, and secure intelligent digital products with ease.

WSO2's Chief AI Officer, Rania Khalaf, unveiled our approach to the AI revolution: 'Code for AI, AI for Code.' This dual pronged strategy transforms software development by infusing AI throughout the entire software development lifecycle. 'AI for Code' empowers developers with intelligent tools that accelerate and enhance coding efficiency, while 'Code for AI' enables organizations to seamlessly integrate AI capabilities into their products and services. Complementing this approach is our pioneering concept of natural programming, which blends natural language with programming language to fundamentally redefine the developer experience.
