The Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) invites you to an exclusive SNS session at the Mobile World Congress 2025 in Barcelona on Monday 3 March, at 9:00 am.

This MWC25 SNS JU session will explore the future of networks and services innovation, as well as technological convergence within and beyond the telecoms sector. The path to 6G will demand groundbreaking advancements across multiple domains and the convergence and integration of adjacent technologies traditionally outside the telecoms domain – ranging from artificial intelligence, next generation (telco) cloud edge continuum to microelectronics and Non-Terrestrial Networks.

This session will delve into how Europe’s digital infrastructure is evolving from transmission-centric paradigms toward a computing-centric future. It will explore the critical role of converging technologies—radio access networks (RAN), edge computing, and artificial intelligence (AI)—in shaping Europe’s digital economy and sustaining its global competitiveness.

Participants will gain insights into the transformative shifts required to build a robust and future-ready infrastructure that serves as the foundation for innovation, economic resilience, and technological sovereignty in Europe.

Outline Agenda:

• Welcome Keynotes: “Europe’s Digital Backbone: A Vision for the Computing-Centric Era”
  • Pearse O’Donohue, Director for Future Networks, DG CONNECT, European Commission
  • Colin Willcock, Chairman, 6G Industry Association Board

• Panel 1: Digital infrastructures of the future exploring the development of 6G and 3C Networks. From Transmission-Centric to Computing-Centric Digital Infrastructures:
  • Highlight how traditional telecom infrastructures focused on data transmission are being reshaped to accommodate computing-intensive applications like AI, IoT, and real-time analytics.
  • Explore the implications for network design, capacity planning, and investment strategies.
• Panel 2: Key use cases and opportunities for ecosystem building with verticals with the aim of enhancing European industrial competitiveness:
  • Discuss the convergence between advanced radio access networks, edge computing architectures, and AI-driven automation.
  • Examine how this convergence enables ultra-low latency, real-time processing, and distributed intelligence to support next-gen applications in sectors such as automotive, railway, public safety, and smart cities.
