About the Conference
Background：
The advancement of 6G technology not only signifies the continuous evolution of information and communication technologies (ICT) but also represents a convergence of cutting-edge innovations and breakthroughs. Moreover, it embodies deep integration and collaboration across industries and disciplines. Globally, significant progress has been made in key areas such as ultra-massive MIMO antenna arrays, millimeter-wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) communications, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), native AI-embedded communications, deterministic networking, and space-air-ground integrated networks. These groundbreaking innovations will enable a quantum leap in communication capabilities. 6G will transcend traditional communication paradigms by integrating computing, sensing, and communication in a deeply synergistic manner. It will also rely on close collaboration across diverse domains, including information technology, artificial intelligence, materials science, and the low-altitude economy, to jointly shape a new blueprint for an intelligent, green, and sustainable connected society.
As we enter 2025, the standardization of 6G will reach a critical stage, with research institutions, industry organizations, and enterprises worldwide actively exploring innovative technological pathways. Through close collaboration, they are establishing a globally interconnected 6G research and development (R&D) ecosystem. China has already incorporated next-generation communication networks into its "15th Five-Year Plan" strategy and is systematically advancing cutting-edge innovations. By focusing on 6G visions, application scenarios, and core technologies, Chinese research institutions and enterprises are strengthening fundamental research and technological development, fostering a comprehensive innovation ecosystem that integrates industry, academia, and research.
The Global 6G Technology Conference is the most extensive and comprehensive international event in the 6G domain, having been successfully held for four consecutive editions. The 2025 Global 6G Technology and Industry Ecosystem Conference will center around the theme "Co-Defining 6G with the Entire Industry." It will delve into key topics such as 6G visions and fundamental technologies, security and trustworthiness, green and sustainable development, and AI-driven communications. Building on the conference’s tradition of high-level discussions, professionalism, authority, and thought leadership, it will bring together global forces in scientific cooperation and collaborative innovation. This year’s event will focus on driving global consensus on 6G standards, further advancing industry-wide co-construction and co-creation, with the ultimate goal of achieving a shared and mutually beneficial future.
