5G-DRIVE in nutshell
5G DRIVE aims is to bridge current 5G developments in Europe and China through joint trials and
research activities in order to facilitate technology convergence, spectrum harmonisation and business.
30-month (September 2018 – February 2021) Research and Innovation Action project, funded under the
Horizon 2020 Framework programme.
17 partners from 10 European countries (Germany, Finland, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, Greece,
Portugal, United Kingdom and Luxembourg).

Project objectives
Technical Research and develop eMBB and V2X key technologies
and services, and trial them based on pre-commercial
end-to-end testbeds in three EU locations: Surrey, JRC
Ispra and Espoo.
Analyse potential system interoperability issues in
Europe and China and provide joint reports, white
papers, and recommendations to address them
accordingly.
Submit joint contributions to 3GPP and other 5G
standardisation bodies regarding the key 5G
technologies developed and evaluated in the project.
Regulation
Evaluate spectrum usage at 3.5GHz
for indoor and outdoor
environments in selected trial sites.
Investigate regulatory issues
regarding the deployment of V2X
technologies.
Business Investigate and promote 5G
business potential.
Strengthen industrial 5G
cooperation.
Promote early 5G market
adoption.
