The 5G for Smart Communities Support Platform, on behalf of the European Commission, organised the annual Community Conference for the CEF Digital 5G for Smart Communities stakeholders. This gathering took place as an engaging Cluster Meeting, designed to foster collaboration and innovation.
Participants delved into the world of 5G, exploring and identifying common building blocks essential for smart community projects. Discussions tackled the challenges and solutions in the realm of 5G, focusing on the implementation, replication, and key enablers across various application domains. This event offered a unique opportunity to gain insights into defining clear business models, understanding technical components, and discovering solutions for off-the-shelf replicable 5G projects.
Participants were empowered with a deeper understanding of common requirements and practical approaches to building their own 5G projects.
