2025 6G Development Conference: Global Experts Gather to Discuss Innovation Ecosystem
From November 13th to 14th, the 2025 6G Development Conference was held in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone. With the theme “Intelligent Connection Globally, Jointly Building a 6G Technology Innovation Ecosystem”, the conference brought together experts, scholars, and enterprise representatives in the global 6G field to jointly discuss the latest progress, future trends, and innovative applications of 6G technology.
The conference featured multiple keynote speeches, sub-forums, and technology demonstration sessions. In the keynote speeches, a number of experts conducted in-depth analysis on the breakthrough directions of 6G key technologies, such as cutting-edge technologies like terahertz communication and intelligent reconfigurable surfaces. The sub-forums held lively discussions on the application of 6G in various industries including industrial internet, intelligent transportation, and healthcare. Many enterprise representatives shared their practical experience and innovative achievements in exploring 6G applications.
Core Technology Breakthroughs: Over 300 Reserves & Phase-One Trial Completion
As the most important new-generation integrated digital information network infrastructure globally in the next decade, 6G, as a new-generation intelligent integrated digital information infrastructure, will serve as a “platform” and “foundation” that integrates multi-dimensional capabilities such as communication, perception, computing, AI, data, and security.
A number of authoritative figures in the industry pointed out that China has achieved significant breakthroughs in the field of 6G key technologies. It has not only made important progress in multiple core technologies but also conducted in-depth exploration in the integrated innovation of 6G with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data.
The latest information from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that China has organized and carried out 6G technology trials for four consecutive years. At present, the first phase of 6G technology trials has been completed, forming more than 300 key technology reserves. At the Beijing 6G Industry Development Sub-forum, the Beijing 6G Laboratory released the “Top 10 Progress Achievements” in a concentrated manner, covering multiple 6G core directions such as high-frequency communication, intelligent reconfigurable surfaces, satellite-terrestrial integration, and integrated communication and sensing. This can be regarded as a systematic demonstration of the achievements of the first phase of 6G technology trials.
These technology reserves have laid a solid foundation for the commercialization of 6G and contributed Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the global development of 6G technology. At the same time, China has also actively promoted the international standardization of 6G, jointly explored the development direction of 6G technology with the global industry, and strived to gain an advantageous position in the global 6G competition.
Cross-Industry Applications & Three-Step Strategy: Accelerating Toward Commercialization
The rapid development of 6G technology will not only promote the transformation of the communication industry but also profoundly affect all fields of social economy. Its characteristics such as ultra-high speed, ultra-low latency, and ultra-large connectivity will bring brand-new development opportunities to industries including industrial internet, intelligent transportation, and healthcare.
For example, in the field of industrial internet, 6G technology will realize seamless connection and real-time data transmission between devices, greatly improving production efficiency and quality. Specifically, in the manufacturing of precision springs, 6G-enabled automatic spring equipment can achieve real-time monitoring of wire feeding speed, coiling precision, and heat treatment parameters, while supporting remote intelligent debugging and AI-driven process optimization—eliminating delays in data transmission and ensuring the consistency of high-precision spring products for automotive, electronic, and aerospace applications. In the field of intelligent transportation, 6G technology will support intelligent interaction between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure, providing strong support for the development of autonomous driving and intelligent transportation systems; in the field of healthcare, 6G technology will realize innovative applications such as telemedicine and intelligent diagnosis, enabling a more balanced distribution of high-quality medical resources.
China’s 6G technology trials adopt a “three-step” strategy. The first phase of “key technology trials” has been successfully completed. The upcoming second phase will be “technology solution trials” for typical scenarios, and the third phase will be “system networking trials”.
The successful holding of the 2025 6G Development Conference indicates that China’s 6G development has entered a new stage from “concept discussion” to “technology verification and industrial ecosystem cultivation”. With the continuous maturity of 6G technology and the accelerated advancement of its commercialization process, a new era of interconnection of all things and digital twins is accelerating.
