Recognising the importance of understanding the many nuances and implications of 5G technologies, Telecommunications Policy will be publishing a new special issue on ‘Innovation in 5G technology: leadership, competition and policy issues’ (2022). Contributions to the special issue provide insights into the opportunities and challenges raised by the implementation of 5G across sectors and explore potential implications for policy.

The webinar will use these contributions from four global experts as the basis for a discussion about innovation in 5G standard and downstream applications. Accurate mapping of patents, publications, and standard contributions, as reflected in recent empirical analyses, will shed light on technological and innovation leadership at the company and country level. This, in turn, is important not only for companies implementing 5G but also for improving public perceptions and government policies about 5G Presenters will explore some recent experiences with 5G applications and single out important policy enablers of complementary innovation.
The academic hosts for the webinar are the Florence School of Regulation – Communications & Media (EUI) and Chalmers University of Technology. The corporate host is TELUS.
