While the worldwide deployment of 5G networks is ongoing, the discussion on the next generation of mobile networks, i.e., 6G, has already begun. But what is this next-generation network, and why do we need it? Is it simply an evolution of 5G, or is it a revolutionary technology delivering new advanced services or added value?

Join this panel of experts from industry, academia, SMEs and the EC as they discuss what 6G is and what it isn’t, what the lessons learned were from the development of 5G and how these affect the future development of 6G, in addition to what the role and competitive advantages are for Europe in 6G R&D.
