UK5G is the national innovation network dedicated to the promotion of research, collaboration and the commercial application of 5G in the UK.

It is a ‘network of networks’ designed to encourage coordination between all organisations working on 5G activities across the UK. It enhances links between the public sector, academic research, development activities undertaken by organisations across telecoms and vertical sectors, and the UK Government’s 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme. 

UK5G is independent and impartial. Its senior national advisory board advises the Government's 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme, providing expert feedback from industry, identifying priorities and advising on future areas of focus.

UK5G is a focal point for international engagement into the UK’s 5G ecosystem, encouraging international participation and investment.
