The European 5G Conference 2020 | Forum Europe | 22 January 2020 | MCE Conference and Business Centre, Rue de l'Aqueduc 118, 1050 lxelles, Belgium

The 3rd edition of the European 5G conference took place in Brussels on 22nd and 23rd January, bringing together more than 250 top-level stakeholders.

The European 5G Conference launched in 2017, and has quickly established a reputation as Brussels' leading platform for discussions on 5G policy.

5G is now right around the corner and is set to revolutionise almost all areas of society and business. It will mean far more than a simple increase in broadband speeds - it is set to unleash a whole plethora of new applications and use-cases, and form the backbone of a number of all-new industries.

For the full benefits of 5G to be realised, it is essential that a clear and co-ordinated strategy is put in place that encourages research, investment and innovation.

And that is where The European 5G Conference comes in.

By bringing together leading representatives from all the key stakeholder groups, and offering an interactive format that encourages discussion and debate, the event is making a concrete contribution to policy thinking in this area.
