Barcelona is the Mobile World Capital, the international reference city for innovation and talent in the field of mobile phone, where the Mobile World Congress takes place. The mobile technology world congress par excellence lasts just a few days, but its legacy lasts all year round and reaches Catalonia with initiatives such as the Mobile Week, an open space for reflection about the impact of digital technology on society through art, science, and technology.  

The Catalan capital is an international leader in future technologies and, at the same time, a centre of interest for conferences and fairs on technology and digital innovation. Barcelona, year after year, is equipped and prepared for large, innovative, and transforming international events: Mobile World Congress, ISE, Smart City Expo, Big Data & AI Congress
