The 6G-IA BVME white paper introduces a service-centric framework to define value-relevant aspects of B5G offerings like network slicing and AIaaS, enabling new business models that align pricing with value-in-use. European SNS JU projects such as HORSE and RIGOUROUS are driving a shift toward proactive security architectures featuring zero-touch automation, explainable AI, and confidential computing at the edge. Research priorities for microelectronics emphasize a roadmap for European solutions transferable to pilot lines, fostering strategic collaboration between the Chips and SNS Joint Undertakings. Additional reports outline the role of 6G in agriculture and smart cities, while advocating for open, disaggregated network architectures to ensure scalability and energy efficiency. Collectively, these documents establish a unified European vision for 6G that integrates native AI, integrated sensing, and sustainability goals to support a commercial launch around 2030.
