The EuCNC & 6G Summit in Poznan highlighted a unified European strategy for 6G development, emphasizing that network resilience is now a critical design priority over simple capacity increases. Key initiatives like the SNS JU and national programs in Germany, Finland, and Ireland are driving research into self-healing systems, AI-driven security, and non-terrestrial networks to ensure connectivity during emergencies. Experts stressed the need for public-private partnerships and regulatory frameworks that support dual-use technologies, aiming to integrate technical innovation with policy to enhance citizens’ daily lives. Ultimately, the summit concluded that Europe’s leadership in 6G depends on pioneering continental rollouts and embedding resilience principles directly into future network standards.
