6G-life: Technological Souvereignty Made in Germany
6G communication as the key
In order to significantly drive forward transformative changes in the economy, administration, and everyday life, we need appropriate technologies that can meet these challenges. We are tackling them with 6G communication.
Digitization
Communication technologies such as 6G form the basis for more efficient processes, less bureaucracy, and new business opportunities.
Shared Prosperity
Development of cost-effective and reliable technologies that enable the use of robotics in large-scale industry, skilled trades, care, and the home. To enable all social classes to participate in prosperity.
Resilience
to secure critical infrastructure such as government agencies, businesses, and hospitals.
Robotics
6G communication networks are capable of enabling cost-effective and efficient collaborative robot systems to address emerging challenges through transformative capabilities.
The Digital Infrastructure Architects
“We build our own digital nervous system”
The 6G-life initiative represents the most aggressive institutional positioning on technological sovereignty. Europe cannot afford to rely on “black box” infrastructure from US or Chinese vendors for critical telecommunications systems.
Digital Infrastructure Framework
Hardware Independence
Developing sovereign 6G core networks using open standards and open-source software stacks, leveraging platforms like OpenAirinterface for full control over infrastructure.
Startups as Sovereignty Instruments
The launchhub42 incubator is framed as a geopolitical necessity. By creating successful deep-tech companies locally, we keep both technology and human capital within Europe.
Post-Shannon Theory
Positioning as rule-setters rather than rule-takers, investing heavily in theoretical foundations that could define the next generation of communication standards globally.
Supply Chain Control
Explicitly rejecting dependency on external vendors by developing alternatives in cryptography (quantum-safe), software (open RAN), and hardware (DECT-NR alternatives).
