2026 Industry Working Group
- 5G for Smart Communities
- Connectivity
The 5G Industry Working Group will focus on the development, deployment, and adoption of 5G-enabled industrial applications and digital transformation solutions across key economic sectors. By bringing together stakeholders from industrial companies, telecom operators, technology vendors, policymakers, research organizations, and innovation ecosystems, the working group will encourage expertise exchange, and present strategic initiatives to bridge the gap between technological capabilities and real-world industrial implementation. During the Working Group, with the support of the 5G large scale pilots' community, the participants will also have the chance to discuss how successful pilot experiences, tested use cases, and operational lessons learned can be scaled, replicated, and translated into sustainable industrial and commercial 5G deployments across Europe.
