The Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT), Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), led a Taiwan delegation comprising representatives from industry, academia, and research institutes to participate in the 2026 EuCNC & 6G Summit, held in Malaga, Spain, from June 2-5. As Europe's flagship event for advanced communications research, the summit serves as an important international platform for collaboration on future network technologies and global 6G development.

The delegation brought together the Taiwan 6G Industry Forum (6GIF), MediaTek, Compal Electronics, TMYTEK, G REIGNS, Auden Techno Corp., Atayalan Inc., Launchip Inc., National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, National Tsing Hua University, Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), and the Institute for Information Industry (III). Together, the delegation showcased Taiwan's achievements in 6G and satellite communications technologies, demonstrating the nation's R&D capabilities and industrial strengths in next-generation communications.

During the summit, the Taiwan delegation hosted a "Taiwan Special Session" to facilitate technical exchange between industry, academia, and research organizations from Taiwan and Europe. The session highlighted emerging 6G technologies, including non-terrestrial networks (NTN), integrated sensing and communications (ISAC), and AI-RAN, while identifying future opportunities for Taiwan-Europe cooperation.

A key milestone was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the European 6G Smart Networks and Services Industry Association (6G-IA) and the Taiwan 6G Industry Forum (6GIF). The signing was witnessed by Man-Tieh Chen, Section Chief of DoIT, MOEA, and Miguel Gonzalez-Sancho, Head of Unit for Future Connectivity Systems at the European Commission's Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT). The MoU will advance collaboration in 6G technology development and standards alignment, further connecting the Taiwanese and European cooperation and connectivity across the global 6G ecosystems.

In addition, ITRI signed a Cooperation Agreement with the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) as part of the Future Network Services (FNS) program to advance joint research and development on ISAC for selected use cases. The agreement will support technical validation and future standards contributions, strengthening Taiwan-Europe collaboration in key 6G enabling technologies.

To support Taiwan's long-term competitiveness, MOEA has been investing in key 6G technologies, including 6G base station chipsets, ISAC, NTN, intelligent network management, and 6G experimental platforms. With global 6G standards expected to be released in 2029, Taiwan will continue leveraging its semiconductor and ICT supply chain strengths to accelerate international validation, standards participation, and ecosystem collaboration, positioning itself as a key partner in the global 6G landscape.
