  • Social, economic, regulatory, environmental and political factors and opportunities to deliver social good.
  • Commercial models and factors influencing business investment in exploiting technologies to deliver social good.
  • Challenges and value from developing future telecoms (including 6G development and the impact of AI).
  • How academics can work with partners in industry to deliver a secure, resilient and sustainable world.
