• Will 6G yield new business models and use cases, for instance around sensing, network-sharing or indoor coverage?
• Spectrum requirements and allocations needed, related regulatory and policy challenges, innovative spectrum-sharing techniques.
• The role of policymakers in shaping the 6G landscape, key policy points, the impact of international collaboration and standardization.
• Will 6G mean a shift from today’s vertically-integrated model of MNOs, to a more diverse set of network wholesalers, retailers and specialised providers?
• Ideologies driving the development of 6G technologies. Some MNOs are keen for 6G deployment to be slower and a gentle evolution from 5G. Will they face disruptors keen to move faster and can we all get on the same page?

• Emerging threats and vulnerabilities that data centres face today, such as advanced persistent threats (APTs), ransomware, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that specifically target data centres.
• Best practices for network segmentation, the implementation of firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS), and the importance of regular network security assessments and penetration testing to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. What are the potential applications of quantum key distribution (QKD) for securing data in transit?
• Common obstacles in achieving compliance, such as keeping up with evolving regulations, integrating compliance into existing security protocols, and ensuring that encryption methods meet stringent regulatory standards.
• The financial implications of investing in robust security measures versus the potential costs of security breaches, including data loss, regulatory fines, and reputational damage.
