Moving forward to 6G: How can Europe stay ahead?

Unlike other areas of the digital economy, Europe is one of the leaders in the world’s telecommunications equipment market. Thanks to world class-companies such as Ericsson and Nokia, Europe has a strong voice when it comes to defining the future of mobile communications.

The new sixth generation of mobile telephony (6G) is already on the horizon. Research and development programs are launched all over the world and 6G standardization is debated in international forums.

Europe must aspire to maintain its leadership in mobile telecommunications. In a world where geopolitical tension interferes with economical decision-making, it is crucial for our continent to adopt a strategy that will allow us to preserve a leading position. To do so, Europe should maintain a strong focus on innovation dynamic.
