The 6G Technology Innovation and Industry Development Summit of the Global Digital Economy Conference 2025 kicked off in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (Beijing E-Town) on July 5.

During the meeting, Beijing E-Town initiated the construction of 6G SPACES, a new high-quality ecological community, aiming to create a globally influential leading area for 6G innovation and development.

6G, the new generation of comprehensive intelligent digital information infrastructure, is driving unprecedented integration across disciplines, industries, and domains. It stands as a pivotal focal point in the industrial strategies of leading nations and regions, shaping the future landscape of technology and connectivity on a global scale.

The 6G SPACES community will take the entire area of Beijing E-Town as a testing ground, building an industrial ecosystem that integrates technological breakthroughs, pilot services, open scenarios, policy support, patient funds, and competition events.

The community will formulate special policies to support the innovative development of 6G technology and industry, laying out key links in the industrial chain such as technology research and development, chips and high-end components, base stations and core network equipment, satellite communication equipment, high-performance communication instruments, and third-party service platforms.

High-quality enterprises across the entire industry chain will be introduced in the community. By 2030, over 100 high-quality enterprises will be nurtured; breakthroughs in over 50 core technologies will be achieved; and a 6G industry with a scale of 50 billion yuan ($6.96 billion) will be formed, contributing to Beijing's goal of becoming a global hub for 6G industrialization.

Meanwhile, Beijing E-Town will continue to focus on cutting-edge areas such as communication intrinsic intelligence, integrated sensing, and aerospace-ground integration, encouraging enterprises to conduct research on core technologies and establish a "6G patent pool."
