The Bharat 6G Alliance(B6GA), which is an initiative of Indian industry, academia, national research institutions and standards organizations, has signed partnership agreements with two European bodies:
- The 6G Smart Networks and Services Industry Association (6G-IA) is the voice of European Industry and Research for next generation networks and services. The 6G-IA carries out a wide range of activities in strategic areas including standardization, frequency spectrum, R&D projects, technology skills, collaboration with key vertical industry sectors, notably for the development of trials, and international cooperation.
- The 6G Flagship programme is a world-leading research initiative funded by the University of Oulu and the Research Council of Finland. It aims to develop key 6G technology components, establish a comprehensive 6G Test Centre, and drive the societal digitisation of the 2030s through ground-breaking 6G research and innovation.
Last year, B6HA announced a similar partnership with ATIS’ Next G Alliance, which is an initiative to advance North American wireless technology leadership over the next decade.
