Brown Bag seminar: Shaping the Connected Future: Business and Security Perspectives of 6G and Beyond

Our world is increasingly connected and more and more of our everyday lives depend on fast, dependable and affordable wireless connections. Future services from hospital care to autonomous vehicles are expected to rely on the ever-increasing capacity of wireless networks, but this development can only happen if the networks are both secure and supported by sustainable business models. How do we ensure that the future wireless technologies are reliable and safe to use in environments where disruption can cost lives? What business models and strategies support the development and implementation of such technologies? What risks and opportunities do the wireless technologies of the future hold?
