Korea Automotive Technology Institute Signs 6G and Connected Car Joint Research Agreement with Italy's WiLab - BigGo Finance

The Korea Automotive Technology Institute (KATECH) has signed a memorandum of understanding with WiLab, a research unit under Italy's National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications (CNIT), to collaborate on future mobility research based on advanced wireless communications. The two organizations will pursue joint research applying next-generation technologies—including 6G, vehicle communications, the Internet of Things, and large-scale wireless networks—to connected cars, while also seeking international joint R&D opportunities. WiLab, established in 1995 as part of CNIT, a non-profit consortium founded by Italian national universities, possesses full-cycle research capabilities spanning theory to real-world validation. Through this partnership, KATECH aims to gain access to Europe's next-generation communications standardization efforts and strengthen its competitiveness in future mobility technologies. The Korea Automotive Technology Institute (KATECH) is joining forces with an Italian wireless communications research institution to secure future vehicle technologies built on sixth-generation mobile communications (6G).
