The Virtual Worlds Association and the 6G Smart Networks and Services Industry Association have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on exploiting research results from their respective EU public-private partnerships for strategic sectors like manufacturing, health, and defense. In a related development, the 5G Automotive Association renewed its MoU with the 6G-IA to ensure future 6G networks are shaped by automotive needs while bridging current 5G deployments. The 6G-IA has also released a new paper outlining a long-term perspective for Smart Networks and Services in FP10, emphasizing the need for extended R&D support to maximize European impact. Additionally, the association contributed to a paper on smart connectivity testbeds to help Digital Innovation Hubs access experimental facilities across Europe for developing innovative use cases. These initiatives collectively aim to align standardization, testing, and policy with the practical requirements of key industrial verticals.
