International Workshop on Future Communications celebrated in Glasgow

On the 24th and 25th of June, the INTER-ACADEMY INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON ‘FUTURE COMMUNICATIONS AND 6G’ was held at the Technology and Innovation Centre in Glasgow. More than 100 delegates from around the world attended this event to discuss the evolution of future telecommunications and to ensure that future wireless systems are open, interoperable, scalable, sustainable, and universally accessible. Luca Campanalonga, Technical Business Development Manager at the Scotland 5G Centre, was part of the organising committee and in charge of the exhibition space.

Over the two days, various talks and panel sessions took place alongside an exhibition, where the Scotland 5G Centre had the pleasure of being one of the exhibitors and sponsors. The Centre showcased various use cases and projects they are involved in, including SCONDA and 5GIR.

On the second day of the workshop, MSP Mr. Tom Arthur delivered the opening speech, highlighting the importance of digital transformation in Scotland. He presented some of the 5G use cases the Centre has developed, emphasizing their broad range—from retrofitting autosteering technology in agriculture at the James Hutton Institute to 5G metaverse and augmented reality innovations in the fashion industry with Scotland ReDesign.

Following his speech, the minister visited the exhibition, where the Centre’s team had the opportunity to explain these use cases and further activities in detail. The event was highly productive, featuring insightful talks and gathering significant interest from attendees, including representatives of the Swedish Government, in the Scotland 5G Centre’s model and its use cases.
