European Union Horizon Europe Flagship Research Project for 6G

Flagship European research initiative uniting telecom vendors, operators, and universities to build the foundational 6G system blueprint.

Technical Explanation

Succeeding the pioneering Hexa-X project, Hexa-X-II represents the European flagship under the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU). It focuses on end-to-end system design, proof-of-concept testbeds, environmental sustainability metrics, and human-centric micro-services, ensuring Europe maintains technological leadership in future wireless generations.

Key Functions

  • Develops end-to-end architectural blueprints and system-level testbeds for 6G
  • Validates real-world proof-of-concepts for sub-THz, ISAC, and AI-native radio
  • Establishes circular economy and energy metrics for European climate neutrality
  • Serves as the primary European research contributor to 3GPP Release 19/20
