'5G Forum' Celebrates 10th Anniversary, Rebrands as 6G Forum for a New Beginning
Renaming and Logo Redesign as 6G Forum
Expectations for Global Cooperation and Collaboration Between Telecommunications and Other Industries
The '5G Forum' is making a fresh start as the '6G Forum' on its 10th anniversary. On the 30th, the Ministry of Science and ICT announced, "To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the ‘5G Forum’ and to strengthen private sector cooperation on next-generation networks and support South Korea's leadership, the forum has been newly launched as the ‘6G Forum’." The launch ceremony was attended by Minister Lee Jong-ho of the Ministry of Science and ICT and over 150 experts from industry, academia, and research sectors.
The 5G Forum is a joint forum of industry, academia, and research launched in 2013 to lead 5G. With the 6G vision announcement approaching according to the recent standardization schedule, the clock for 6G is ticking rapidly. In line with this, the name and logo have been revamped to the 6G Forum. Going forward, it will strengthen its role as a hub for cooperation among industry, academia, and research in the existing telecommunications field, while also serving as a mediator to activate new services through the convergence of other industries and telecommunications.
At the event, following the welcome speech by Lee Sang-yeop, Chairperson of the Forum, and the congratulatory remarks by Minister Lee Jong-ho of the Ministry of Science and ICT, ministerial commendations were awarded to one person each from industry, academia, and research. There was also a session for exchanging the latest global 6G trends and the direction South Korea should take toward 6G. Finally, Minister Lee and other officials held a button ceremony to proclaim the launch of the 6G Forum. During the subsequent luncheon meeting, discussions were held on strategies to secure global leadership in 6G and cooperation plans among industry, academia, and research to create a 6G convergence ecosystem.
