5G

The joint call for projects for "5G communication technologies"

The call for projects "5G communication technologies" was launched jointly by the Media, Connectivity and Digital Policy Department, the Ministry of Economy, the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) and Luxinnovation to offer companies and research institutions a new funding opportunity to support consortia wishing to take advantage of 5G communication technologies in their field of research or activity. 5G communication technologies are powerful enablers for applications in emerging areas such as data-driven decision-making, AI, IoT and automation, with promising impacts in terms of competitiveness and resilience.

Process

The joint call for projects took place in two phases. The first phase, which took place between 15 November 2023 and 9 February 2024, allowed interested economic actors to submit their projects (summary, planned research, timetable, budgets, etc.). The projects had to be related to one of the following 4 areas:

• Smart Environment, 
• Smart Cities, 
• Industry 4.0 and 
• Technologies 

Following an evaluation process conducted by the partners of this call for projects, the pre-selected projects were subject to a second submission phase, between 25 March and 23 May 2024. A more detailed description of the different projects was then examined by a panel of external experts.

The selected projects will be announced in November 2024, after which the implementation of the projects can begin.

More information on the selected projects will follow shortly.
