The 5G Innovation Regions programme aims to drive innovative applications powered by 5G from proof of concept to widespread adoption. Innovation regions will demonstrate and adopt 5G and other advanced wireless use cases across key sectors of the economy. Each Innovation Region will demonstrate the scalability, replicability, and sustainability of use cases, and disseminate project learnings and benefits.
The regions will lead on delivering the government’s vision for communities across the UK to take full advantage of the transformative effect that advanced wireless connectivity and digital technologies can provide. This is part of a wider ambition to drive telecoms innovation, ensuring more secure and resilient networks and a more diverse and competitive supply chain.
