Motivation and Background
Monetisation and Europe’s digital sovereignty are critical pillars for the successful deployment of 6G. As we approach the next generation of telecommunications, it is imperative to address how e.g. operators, as the backbone of this ecosystem, can capture a fair share of the value. What will make 6G different from its predecessors? A sustainable business model must be established – one that ensures profitability for operators, benefits for customers, and a balanced ecosystem where all stakeholders thrive.
Europe’s digital sovereignty and defence-ready infrastructure are equally vital in the context of growing global crises and security threats. The dual-use potential of 6G infrastructure, combining civilian and defence applications, must be explored to ensure resilience, coverage, and access to digital services. How can 6G contribute to Europe’s strategic autonomy while addressing societal needs?
Sustainability remains a key consideration, encompassing environmental, economic, and societal dimensions. Energy efficiency, modularity, and greener networks must align with profitability and capacity expansion. Beyond the hype, 6G must deliver tangible outcomes – real value for customers, measurable benefits for society, and alignment with sustainability goals.
