one6G SUMMIT
The mobile communication system has become one of the fundamental infrastructures of today’s society. It not only brings connectivity – it also incubates innovations that trigger the digital transformation of our society. After the global commercialization of 5G, 6G has begun its journey. Due to numerous global initiatives, nationally funded projects, and industrial and academic research programs, 6G is now being widely promoted across the entire globe. Our society has deep-seated faith that 6G will support various vertical industry sectors and digital economies to develop the essential technology components needed for 2030 while contributing to a fully connected and intelligent world.
Given the importance of engaging experts from a variety of backgrounds and industries in honest and open discussions about the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead as we embark on the exciting journey toward a hyper-connected world, shortly after its inception, the one6G Association organized its first one6G Summit. The first edition (held online due to the pandemic) brought together 24 international experts from policy, industry, and academia who explored the most critical points in the world’s journey toward 6G. Having gathered over 400 participants from around the world, the one6G Summit 2021 proved to be the venue for the drivers of 6G evolution and the tenets that define the vision for cross-industry co-creation of 6G. Given its success, the one6G Association decided to make one6G Summit its yearly flagship event.
The one6G Summit is now regarded as a major platform for expert discussions about challenges, opportunities, and progress achieved on the journey toward a hyper-connected world.

“The one6G Summit in Bologna demonstrated the forum’s unique strength - uniting academia, policy, and industry to accelerate tangible outcomes. For startups like ours advancing satellite connectivity for mobility, it’s a true catalyst for shaping sustainable partnerships and as such, the next era of connectivity.
Head of Business Development & Partnerships, Unio Global
“The one6G Summit 2025 brought together leading experts, researchers, and industry representatives who are already shaping the future of 6G technology. Personally, being mainly involved in Non-Terrestrial Networks, I was particularly impressed by how many of the speakers remarked on the importance of the non-terrestrial component in the future 6G ecosystem to truly achieve ubiquitous and resilient connectivity all around the globe. This is something that a few years ago would have been unimaginable. The conference offered a perfect blend of technical discussions and networking opportunities, allowing me to connect with several professionals also thanks to very insightful demonstrations. I would highly recommend future editions of the one6G Summit to anyone passionate about the next generation of wireless connectivity.”
