UK and India are shaping the future of global connectivity – together. At India Mobile Congress, we launched a new Connectivity and Innovation Centre, to help transform how we build, test, and deploy next generation 6G technologies. Backed by £24 million in joint funding, the Centre will use AI to make networks faster, smarter, and more secure. It will also help extend connectivity to rural areas and help defend against cyber threats. This initiative is part of the UK-India Technology Security Initiative, supporting the future focused #Vision2035 agreed by our Prime Ministers. It will bring together leading researchers and innovators from both countries to drive digital inclusion and build resilient, future-ready telecom infrastructure. A powerful example of international partnership driving real-world impact. UK Research and Innovation | Department of Telecommunications ( DOT )
