Building a 6G Ecosystem: Synergies with European and National Initiatives at EU-level Programmes

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This document provides a detailed examination of the current 6G research and innovation (R&I) landscape in Europe, highlighting both national initiatives and broader EU-level programs. It outlines the key objectives and focus areas of these efforts, analysing commonalities and divergences in their approach. Furthermore, it explores the role of open-source frameworks, standardization efforts, and industrial collaboration in shaping a unified European 6G ecosystem. The document also identifies gaps in coordination and alignment that could hinder Europe’s ability to establish global leadership in 6G technologies. Finally, it presents key policy recommendations to enhance synergies between national and EU-level initiatives, ensuring a coherent and effective strategy for the next phase of network evolution.
