The exponential pace of technological development that we have seen since the dawn of time with the invention of the wheel continues to accelerate and impart profound social and cultural change in the world around us. We are moving ever-closer to a super-connected, 5G-enabled world. 5G infrastructure will become the engine of the connected world, and will rely on policy, norms and standards that do not yet exist. Our data protection, healthcare, and more, all hangs in the balance. What do we need? We need to establish a common ground among all of the players in the field of 5G technology. Rules to adhere to, values to be guided by, and goals to lead us all in one, unified direction. We call on the players of 5G ecosystem to come together to collaborate on the advancement of this industry: Innovators, business - to create inovative business models Legislators - to create the policy to guide them Investors - to fund the advancement of 5G society Together we are building the 5G Techritory - join us to witness the growth of 5G rules and technology.

Let's jump in the highlights of the panel "6G: Resetting the Mobile Industry Structure" - In this session, industry leaders explored the progression toward 6G and its potential to reshape mobile networks. Louise Lancaster from the UK’s Government stressed that we’re still “only halfway through the 5G decade,” cautioning against letting the “hype curve” race ahead of technological development. Guta (Gouta) Maria from the European Space Agency - ESA shared that while 6G offers “more flexibility and some margin to define something new,” the groundwork is rooted in what’s already established. Adding to the vision for rural coverage, Robert Mourik, ComReg, Incoming Chair 2025 at BEREC, highlighted the role of satellites as a cost-effective solution to cover remote areas without requiring extensive base stations. These insights paint a picture of the steady, thoughtful progression it takes to prepare for 6G’s transformative potential. See for yourself on the panel's video-recording YouTube.
Event Recap: Quantum Technologies in Europe – Trends, Goals, Progress, and Collaboration Yesterday’s panel on Quantum Technologies in Europe brought leading experts together to discuss the landscape of quantum development and its transformative potential for Europe. As Professor Vyacheslavs Kashcheyevs of the University of Latvia (Latvijas Universitāte) emphasized, “[Quantum] is the ultimate unconquered frontier for digital technologies.” Despite the excitement and expectations, he noted, the path to achieving tangible economic and societal benefits from quantum can be a long journey. Success hinges on Europe’s unified effort and shared expertise. Europe’s strength in quantum lies in its capability to innovate both hardware and software. This point was underscored by Milja Kalliosaari from IQM Quantum Computers: “As quantum is still developing, I don’t think we can risk losing this battle.” With Europe in a competitive position globally, she believes Europe’s goal should be to lead, not just stay in the race. Professor Andris Ambainis of the University of Latvia (Latvijas Universitāte) touched on the steady, long-term approach necessary for quantum: “We often overestimate what the technological progress in the short-term [will be], but we underestimate how much technology will get better in the longer term.” To close the current gap in quantum computing, he pointed to the need for continued focus on both hardware and software advances. The discussions reinforced that Europe’s future in quantum technology rests on its commitment to collaboration, sustained innovation, and a balanced approach to both hardware and software. This strategic positioning will be crucial to driving meaningful progress in quantum applications across sectors. Want to learn more? Watch the full panel recording on our Youtube!
At yesterday's “WHY 6G: The European Priorities” event panelists dove into the potential and direction of 6G in Europe. One key promise? Convergence. “So that we don’t have to use, deploy, and run several systems for different things, but rather have one central platform for digital transformation,” said Andreas Mueller from Bosch . Jean Schwoerer, PhD from Orange added that this journey from 5G to 6G “will be an evolution, not a revolution.” Europe’s vision for 6G is steady and strategic, paving the way toward a future of unified digital connectivity.

Dear Techritorian, 5G Techritory 2024 is a wrap! Thank you so much for being a part of Techritory's ecosystem. The benefits of 5G and other future network iterations cannot be delivered by one vendor, one mobile operator, or one government alone - it must be a collaborative effort. Without you we couldn't have done it! Cheers to completing another incredible forum! 🎉
Here's a quick recap from the morning sessions of the Second Day at #5GTechritory. The panels at the Opening Ceremony Stage explored the powerful intersection of connectivity and security. Minister Inga Berzina, Viedās administrācijas un reģionālās attīstības ministrija, highlighted Latvia’s commitment to digital transformation: "Innovations, connectivity, digital environment, digital skills, and the wide use of AI and quantum technology are among the top priorities of our national and industrial strategies." While Minister Kaspars Briškens, Satiksmes ministrija / Ministry of Transport , was pleased to announce that “Already today, 5G coverage in Latvia has reached 75% of our population. It’s up from 53% just one year ago.” Panelists from "Connected Forces: The Integration of Mobile Connectivity into Defensive Operations and Strategies" emphasized the defense sector's role in pioneering new applications of mobile connectivity and discussed potential future partnerships, considering the specific needs of the industry. As Ingmārs Pūķis, VP of LMT Innovations, noted, "Many operators still perceive 5G as just a broadband device," but defense organizations were among the first to drive innovation by exploring industrial applications of 5G technology. Whereas Evija Sīpola, Head of Communication and Information Systems for the National Armed Forces of Latvia, emphasized that "Who owns information first controls the battlefield," pointing out that speed in connectivity is the King for Armed Forces.
