The 5G Infrastructure Association (5G IA) and the Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation Association (AIOTI) are collaborating to define a joint Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda for Horizon Europe, focusing on the integration of AI-based control systems with billions of IoT nodes. This initiative aims to support critical applications across European sectors such as energy, mobility, healthcare, and farming by leveraging high-performance smart networks for data delivery. The document outlines specific research topics of common interest, starting from use-case viewpoints and addressing socio-economic success factors alongside standardization needs. By aligning their individual positions, the two associations seek to create economic value and justify the deployment of smart networks and services for all stakeholders in Europe.
