Today’s guest on our Prediction Video Series is Linus Hakansson, Chief Product Officer at Gravitee. Hakansson talks about the company’s focus on API management software and shares his key predictions and insights on the challenges ahead in 2025.

Gravitee’s platform focuses on ensuring visibility, security, orchestration, and lifecycle management of APIs. It provides tools for API design, documentation, and developer portals while enabling security measures and modernizing APIs for businesses. The company helps organizations create and manage real-time data products, catering to the growing demand for instant access to information.

With growing demand for real-time data products, Hakansson predicts a major shift toward replicating the seamless user experiences provided by apps like Uber and parcel tracking services. Hakansson notes that B2B organizations are experiencing similar pressures to provide real-time data, enabling better decision-making and innovative products.

Hakansson also foresees the evolution of traditional API developer portals into multi-platform data catalogs. These catalogs will allow developers, partners, and customers to access, discover, and manage diverse data types and APIs, streamlining their interactions with modern organizations.

Managing diverse and real-time data is a key challenge for 2025. Hakansson discusses the difficulties organizations face in unifying security governance and access control across various data models, including APIs, event-driven data, and AI. Hakansson envisions a future where AI is democratized across businesses, allowing teams and customers to securely and efficiently manage AI ecosystems. However, Hakansson notes that the tools and platforms to achieve this goal will not fully materialize until 2026.

Gravitee’s priorities for the coming year include securing additional funding, expanding its global presence, and advancing its API and event stream management platform. According to Hakansson, the company’s overarching mission for 2025 is to establish itself as the leading provider of API and event stream management solutions, offering a unified platform to seamlessly manage all data types.
