About the event

Mark your calendar for the combined FNS Partner Event & National 6G Conference on Tuesday, October 7, at the TU Delft Aula Conference Centre. This is the event for industry leaders, researchers, and innovators eager to explore the latest advancements in 6G Research & Development in the Netherlands!

Future Network Services is organising this event to showcase our commitment to establishing the Netherlands as a global leader in 6G technology. The FNS consortium comprises 60 companies, knowledge institutes, and governments, focusing on developing the latest generation of mobile networks: 6G. Delft University of Technology and BTG will host the event.

The morning program is for FNS Partners only and will provide key updates on our FNS program. We’ll cover the latest progress, share our plans, and outline the next steps as we move into the second phase.

During the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to discuss the future of connectivity with peers and experts outside of the consortium, whether during the networking lunch or in one of our breakout sessions. Additionally, we will share 6G use cases developed during Phase 1 of the FNS program and highlight the opportunities for participation in Phase 2, starting mid-2026.
