FLECON-6G 1st Plenary Meeting in Bucharest

From October 21 to 22, 2025, the FLECON-6G project held its 1st physical plenary meeting at the Orange Romania HQ in Bucharest. The meeting brought together all consortium partners for two days of technical presentations, project alignment, and forward planning of the project activities.

Christos Skoufis, R&D Senior Project Manager at eBOS, attended the event and contributed to the discussions during the architecture, implementation of the smart marketplace and Impact maximisation sessions. The plenary served as a strategic checkpoint to synchronise progress across work packages, review architecture developments, and define next steps for the first round of technology integration and demonstrations.

The FLECON-6G (Flexible Open Architecture and AI-driven Enabling Technologies for a Novel 6G Connectivity Platform) project brings together 19 expert partners across Europe, with the mission of shaping a trustworthy, intelligent, and autonomous 6G architecture that integrates Native AI, Network Digital Twins (NDTs), and intent-driven orchestration.

FLECON-6G’s core innovations include:

• A multi-layered Network of Networks (NoN) framework for collaborative multi-stakeholder operations
• A Smart Marketplace for dynamic exposure, negotiation, and composition of AI, DT, and network resources
• Proof-of-Concepts across verticals such as Public Safety, Smart Energy, Immersive Media, and Industry 5.0

Running from January 2025 to December 2027, the project aligns with Europe’s strategic vision for 6G. It is committed to contributing to standards established by organisations such as 3GPP, ITU, ETSI, and O-RAN.

eBOS plays a dual role in FLECON-6G as both a technical contributor and impact leader.

WP6 (Impact Maximization and Outreach) Leader
eBOS coordinates all dissemination, communication, and exploitation activities of the project, ensuring that innovations reach stakeholders across industry, research, and policy. At the Bucharest meeting, Christos Skoufis presented the communication strategy and outreach roadmap to enhance the visibility and adoption of FLECON-6G outcomes.

Task 3.1 (Smart Marketplace Implementation) Leader
Within the technical activities, eBOS leads Task 3.1, driving the design and development of the FLECON-6G Smart Marketplace. This marketplace will enable dynamic registration, discovery, and composition of AI models, NDTs, and network resources. eBOS is also responsible for developing the Intent-based Northbound APIs and user-facing front-end that will empower external stakeholders, such as verticals and service providers, to seamlessly interact with the 6G system.

Through its active contributions in both innovation and outreach, eBOS is positioned as a key enabler in the realization of autonomous, collaborative, and market-driven 6G infrastructures.
