The event was held on 21 and 22 January 2025 in Malaga, bringing together 34 partners from 10 countries, including research institutions, technology companies, SMEs and NGOs, which are part of the project consortium.
IPN was represented by Jorge Pimenta, Innovation Director, and Sérgio Figueiredo, Technical Project Manager, who actively participated in the discussions on the project's goals, timelines and strategic milestones. The meeting was also attended by Pavlos Fournogerakis, head of the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) programme, which is funding this initiative under the Horizon Europe programme.
The 6G-VERSUS aims to design and develop a 6G-enabled application framework for the triplet of vertical (V-App), AI-assisted (AI-App) and network applications (N-App). It will demonstrate and assess framework performance, sustainability impact, scalability and business models through real-life vertical use cases in six pilot clusters:

- Bulgaria - AI-driven optimisation of distributed renewable energy
- Greece - Collaborative robotics for search and rescue
- Spain - Immersive telepresence actuator for field operations
- Portugal - Sustainable and secure port infrastructures
- France - Data-driven strategies for water and waste management in critical infrastructures.
- Finland - Energy self-sustaining 5G base station.
