The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has recently released a notice announcing the launch of a special pilot initiative aimed at fostering collaboration between departments and provinces in the realm of 6G innovation and development. This initiative aspires to achieve several key goals by 2029: the development of a suite of independently innovated 6G technology solutions, the cultivation of novel business application scenarios, and the introduction of a diverse range of new terminal products. These efforts are expected to provide robust support for the eventual commercialization of 6G technology.

The initiative will place a strong emphasis on bolstering the strategic layout of 6G frontier technologies. It will enhance research efforts focused on integrated technologies, such as the convergence of communications and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, it will delve deeper into foundational theoretical innovations and spur industrial research and development in the field of communication equipment, including 6G base stations and core networks. Simultaneously, the initiative aims to nurture associated industries, such as the development of new terminals and chip devices, with the goal of creating localized 6G characteristic industrial clusters.

Additionally, the initiative will actively cultivate application scenarios that are specifically tailored to potential 6G use cases, such as immersive communications and the low-altitude economy, thereby paving the way for a wide array of innovative applications and services.
