About MWC | MWC Barcelona 2022

Industry intelligence powered by connection

Each year, MWC Barcelona strengthens links between tens of thousands of senior leaders across the connectivity ecosystem, global business and government. We amplify compelling voices, champion deep industry acumen, celebrate technical excellence and unite the advocates of change.

At MWC26 Barcelona we welcome the arrival of a new age of connected intelligence – The IQ Era. Heighten your perspective with our four key pillars:

• Iconic thinking: ingenuity is only the baseline for the best-known names and brightest new voices speaking from across technology, industry, policy and ethics.
• Big ideas: the world’s most innovative new businesses and talented tech creators, showcase their progress and demo their solutions to leading investors, corporate influencers and venture specialists.
• Latest tech: connected industries and digital futurists kickstart the products and services that everyone will be using next year.
• Global change: the unique intersection of ministerial programmes, social policy, business leadership and tech development – working together to create a world where no one is left behind.
