Italy has joined the global partnership unveiled by the Trump administration to accelerate the development of secure 6G wireless networks, adding Rome to Washington’s latest effort to build a coalition around the technologies expected to underpin the next phase of digital competition.
Why it matters: For Italy, the move fits into a broader pattern of alignment with the United States on strategic technologies. It comes as another US initiative, Pax Silica, aimed at building trusted artificial intelligence value chains, could also receive Italian backing in the coming days – despite a recent case related to Italy’s presence at China’s WAIC.
