When "build it and they will come" is over, why build it? As part of our ongoing cooperation with TelcoForge, we are proud to support 6G Forge: Commercialising 6G, taking place on 21 October 2026 in London.
While much of today's discussion around 6G focuses on future technologies, one of the most important questions remains: what is the business case? For 6G to become a success, it must create tangible value for network operators, enterprises, governments and society. Understanding where this value will come from, and how the transition from 5G and 5G-Advanced can support it, is essential for shaping the next generation of communication networks.
6G Forge brings together telecom operators, vendors, policymakers, researchers and end users to discuss exactly these questions. The agenda explores:
the commercial opportunities of 6G, realistic deployment timelines, future customer demand, new service opportunities, and the relationship between commercial requirements and ongoing standards development.
Through interactive discussions held under Chatham House Rules, participants will help shape practical recommendations for the future evolution of the industry.
The event is co-located with Telco 2031: Decision Time, creating an excellent opportunity to participate in both events during a single visit. While 6G Forge focuses on the long-term commercial direction of 6G, Telco 2031 addresses the strategic decisions telecom leaders need to make today on topics such as AI, sovereignty, enterprise services, regulation, workforce development and business transformation.
Together, the two events provide a unique combination of forward-looking technology discussions and executive-level business strategy.
