Meet the crew of 6G Flagship

Nice to meet you

We Are 6G Flagship

The 6G Flagship is an extraordinary effort to define the future of mobile communications. We are an intercultural organisation run by the Centre for Wireless Communications (CWC) at the University of Oulu in Finland.

Our staff, from 46 different nationalities, is our most valuable asset and the key to our success. They focus on working with 5G adoption and 6G innovation, investigating technical answers to the problems and possibilities of emerging digital marketplaces, a rising, ageing global population, changing social requirements, and other elements influencing our digital future.
