Will you join us in the 5G Challenge?

The future mobile 5G network is more than a faster version of the usual 3G and 4G wireless technologies. In addition to improved bandwidth, 5G has a lower latency (the delay in communication between devices), better security options and more powerful antenna concepts and a much higher capacity. Where 4G connected for people, 5G will connect society.

5G is one of the key technologies
As you know, 5G will contribute to the digitization of various industries such as the urban environment. 5G has various practical application areas: internet of things (IoT), smart city functions, self-driving cars and, drone taxis, robots, remote access to connected devices, gaming, augmented and virtual reality. 5G offers many new business opportunities. 5G is one of the key technologies in the digitization of various sectors and companies.

But, what’s in it for us...

How can we benefit from this new technology that is not only much faster and has an extreme low latency? That’s something we want to explore with YOU in our 5G Challenge. We are looking for solutions not for business, but for consumers., B2B2C.

You are a start-up with the skills to connect society. Will you join us in the challenge? We - the Johan Cruijff Arena, City of Amsterdam, Capgemini/Sogeti and KPN - challenge you to design and pitch a compelling service/application for consumers using 5G capabilities.
