DÜSSELDORF – Techbros is set to begin its 6G research activities in Germany at the end of 2025 after securing research funding and officially joining a German industry–research consortium.

The research is conducted under the ADAPT project, which is funded through the EFRE/JTF-Programm NRW 2021–2027: Nachhaltige Zukunft in NRW, a regional funding program supported by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Climate Action, and Energy of NorthRhine-Westphalia (NRW).

According to Head of R&D, Muhammad Haidar, the company initially aimed to establish collaborative research links with academic partners in Germany, including TUDortmund. Through these discussions, 6G emerged as a key focus area, andTechbros was later introduced to the ADAPT consortium as an industry partner.

The administrative and registration processes were completed throughout 2025, and by the end of the year, Techbros officially received its grant approval.

“Techbros has been involved in the 5G rollout in Germany since 2019. While 5G is still being deployed and upgraded, research institutions are already working on the technologies that will shape the next generation of connectivity,” explained Haidar.

The funding will be allocated entirely to research and development activities, in line with the grant requirements. This includes salaries for the Techbros research team, operational costs for cloud and IT infrastructure, and research-related equipment.

In the short to medium term, Techbros will contribute to the research, design, and validation of programmable campus network concepts and adaptive radio network solutions within the consortium.

Techbros’ work will focus on:

·     real-time network configuration interfaces for software-based optimization,

·     flexible radio unit and campus relay concepts for dynamic deployments, and

·     industrial expertise in radio network design, planning, testing, and optimization.

Upon completion of the project, Techbros expects to contribute to joint innovations within the consortium and further develop industrial solutions based on the project outcomes, in line with the project’s intellectual property and exploitation framework.
