Stockholm has taken a pioneering step in telecommunications by unveiling Europe’s first dedicated 6G testbed, designed to accelerate research and innovation for the next generation of wireless connectivity. This state-of-the-art facility, located at the Kista Science City tech hub, brings together leading academic institutions, industry partners, and government agencies to collaboratively explore the potential of 6G technologies.

The 6G testbed will provide a real-world environment for testing ultra-high-speed data transfer, sub-millisecond latency, and energy-efficient communication protocols. Researchers will have the opportunity to experiment with advanced concepts such as holographic communications, AI-driven network management, and spectrum sharing. The initiative is expected to drive breakthroughs in sectors as diverse as healthcare, autonomous mobility, and smart infrastructure, positioning Sweden—and Europe—at the forefront of global connectivity innovation.
