What if networks could do more than connect the world - what if they could understand intent, sense their environment, adapt autonomously and create new value?

T Challenge 2027 is now open. Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile US invite researchers, developers and startups to help shape the World of Connected Intelligence.

We are looking for bold, practical ideas across trusted autonomous networks, energy-adaptable infrastructure, next-generation products and experiences in 6G, sensing and Physical Intelligence, and quantum technologies.

Your contribution can start with a research insight, a prototype or a venture ready to scale. The common thread: create measurable value beyond connectivity and show a credible path into real networks.
