Accelerating digital transformation
MWC Barcelona ultimately showcases how connected technologies are transforming the mobile industry. Extending beyond that, it is now able to reflect on the impact of mobile on vertical business sectors and celebrate a broad ecosystem across multiple industries who are integral to global digital transformation.
More than half of MWC attendees are from businesses beyond the mobile industry, with the event helping to facilitate the next wave of digital transformation across the entire connectivity ecosystem.
Aiming to combine networking and innovation, MWC has set up a hub in Hall 6 solely dedicated to networking, offering collaborative networking areas, auditoriums and a VIP lounge. Hall 6 is shaping up to be a hot spot of inspiration and must-attend immersive experiences with the return of Journey to the Future, MWC’s high-tech feature area. It will showcase innovations with technology’s transformational impact on tomorrow’s industries, communities, and citizens.
It will also feature the Connected Industries space, inviting attendees to discover how mobile technologies are changing the face of four spotlight industries - Manufacturing, Smart Mobility, FinTech and Mobile Commerce and Sports and Entertainment. Global industry experts will take to the Connected Industries stage across each of the four days at MWC Barcelona to explore topics such as the commercialisation of drones, the emergence of robots in smart factories, the future fraud landscape and the role of technology in creating world-class fan experiences.
MWC Barcelona will also be co-located with Sports Tomorrow Congress, presented by the Barça Innovation Hub (BIHUB). Sports Tomorrow Congress is a showcase of the decades of knowledge that FC Barcelona has accumulated on topics such as health, nutrition, high athletic performance, the digital sphere and the impact of sports on society.
MWC Barcelona is a great place for those within the technology sector to network and catch up on the latest digital trends, brought together by the GSMA Ministerial Programme. Ministers, heads of regulatory authorities and policymakers come to MWC every year to meet with mobile industry CEOs and senior representatives of international organisations, share knowledge and evolve priority policy and regulatory issues.
