FIDAL was one of the projects that was involved in the development of the Vertical Engagement Tracker (VET). The VET monitors the progress of Europe’s 6G Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) in developing 6G technologies across various industries. It maps, analyzes, and aligns 6G research and innovation (R&I) use cases with industry needs, fostering collaboration and bridging gaps between research and market applications.

VET’s online platform systematically tracks use cases from SNS R&D projects, offering insights into 5G adoption and the transition to 6G. It identifies trends, industry-specific challenges, and deployment gaps. 

With interactive analytics, VET helps policymakers, researchers, and businesses identify investment opportunities and align policies with connectivity advancements. Its beneficiaries include technology developers, Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH), businesses, and research organizations, supporting strategic decision-making.

Recent improvements include an expanded dataset covering third-party-funded projects and new interactive charts for better data visualization. By 2024, 247 use cases from 52 SNS-funded projects were documented across sectors like Smart Cities, Health, and Security.

VET fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange, enabling stakeholders to track innovations and industry advancements effectively.
