Day 1 | Morning
Registration and networking with coffee
Opening remarks
Session 1: Global 6G strategies
Info: Global industry organizations are working together to formulate a shared vision for 6G, in which, AI-native by design plays an essential role. Research alliances and standards bodies are aligning on architectures that enable networks to perceive, reason, and act autonomously while ensuring safety, trust, and interoperability. This session brings these global perspectives together to highlight how collaborative innovation is shaping the AI‑native foundation of 6G.
Coffee break
Panel discussion: Global 6G strategies
Info: Following their presentations, speakers from Session 1 come together for a panel discussion on the global vision for AI-native 6G. Building on the perspectives shared by leading industry organizations, research alliances, and standards bodies, the discussion will explore areas of alignment, key challenges, and opportunities for collaboration in shaping AI-native 6G architectures that are autonomous, trustworthy, interoperable, and globally relevant.
Day 1 | Afternoon
Networking Lunch, Demo Pitches and Innovation Showcase
Info: The session opens with a series of short pitches introducing the featured demonstrations. Participants are then invited to network over lunch while exploring live demonstrations showcasing emerging technologies, research prototypes, and practical applications related to AI-native 6G. The format encourages hands-on engagement and in-depth discussions with demonstrators and fellow attendees.
Session 3: Industry Perspectives – Part I
Info: Telecom operators and vendors increasingly view AI‑native 6G as a chance to create networks that are smarter, more adaptive, and inherently resilient, driven by foundation models and agentic intelligence capable of automating complex decisions across technical and business domains. At the same time, they stress the importance of strong security, governance, and global interoperability to ensure these capabilities remain safe and trustworthy at scale. This session brings together leading industry players to share their perspectives on the evolution of AI-native 6G networks.
Coffee break
Session 3: Industry Perspectives – Part II
Info: The second part of this session features additional industry speakers sharing their perspectives on the opportunities, challenges, and practical considerations involved in realizing AI-native 6G networks.
Closing remarks
Day 2 | Morning
Registration and networking with coffee
Opening remarks
Session 4 – AI‑Native 6G: Building the Intelligent Network of the Future
Info: Research on AI-native 6G is advancing at the technical frontier, driven by breakthroughs in multi-agent network intelligence and foundation-model-driven radio and core network optimization. This session highlights cutting-edge research in which AI and agentic AI enable learning from massive multimodal environmental and network data, coordination through new interfaces and protocols, and low-latency closed-loop control across network and service domains.
Coffee break
Session 5 From Perception to Action: The Rise of Embodied AI Systems
Info: Embodied AI and 6G are converging to enable a new generation of intelligent physical systems. This session explores how next-generation embodied agents – robots, drones, vehicles, wearables, and spatial computing systems – will leverage 6G’s integrated sensing capabilities, telco-grade performance, and distributed compute fabric to perceive, reason, and act in the physical world. We highlight frontier research in multi-agent coordination, shared real-time world models, and cross-domain autonomy, where machines operate as synchronized collectives rather than isolated devices. The session examines a vision of embodied AI that is not merely connected to the network but co-evolves with it, forming a cyber-physical intelligence layer capable of transforming industry, mobility, and human-machine as well as machine-machine interactions at scale.
Day 2 | Afternoon
Networking Lunch and Innovation Showcase
Info: Participants are invited to network over lunch while exploring live demonstrations showcasing emerging technologies, research prototypes, and practical applications related to AI-native 6G. The session offers opportunities for hands-on engagement and informal discussions with demonstrators throughout the break.
Best Demo Awards Announcement
Info: Announcement of the Best Demo Awards recognizing the most outstanding demonstrations presented during the event.
Session 6: one6G and Partner Perspectives on AI-Native 6G
Info: one6G plays a key role in defining how AI becomes a native architectural element of 6G networks rather than remaining an external enhancement. Through its global ecosystem of industry, academic, and research partners, one6G drives work on AI-native network architectures and embodied AI. This session presents the association’s perspective alongside viewpoints from its key partners.
