MWC 2023

Mobile World Congress expo or MWC Barcelona is the international reference point for the tech, mobile and connectivity industry. Hosting annual editions in Fira Barcelona Gran Via, the MWC trade fair regularly welcomes over 100 000 professional visitors and 1500 exhibitors for five days of deal-making, networking and demonstrating tech that pushes boundaries. The entire mobile ecosystem is on display at Fira Gran Via, put together by over 2 000 exhibiting companies from every sector, from healthcare to automotive.

Tackling global mobile connectivity issues across the most significant industries takes a global expert effort. For this reason, MWC welcomes over 1050 experts from 168 countries to headline conferences and informative sessions on all aspects of connecting communities, machines and industries of tomorrow.

The five-day MWC at Fira Gran Via features an array of conferences, programmes, and workshops vital for Mobile World Congress attendees wanting to take their business to the next level and stay ahead of the competition. The exhibition has a multi-industrial approach to solving global connectivity issues, and as such, it is a must-attend, especially for middle and upper-management visitors who want to make a real impact in the digital world.

The first-rate MWC experience regularly attracts some of the most influential decision makers in the world, including 59% of the most senior decision-makers in the industry. The show floor hosts the most innovative companies with their latest ground-breaking offers, as well as visiting ministers, telecom regulators, data protection authorities, senior representatives of international organisations and over 8,000 industry CEOs – all gathering to share knowledge and engage on important policy and regulatory topics. Mobile World Congress attendees are able to increase their company's visibility, as MWC is covered by over 3,600 press and media representatives.

The MWC exhibition is designed with the goal in mind to catalyse connectivity across all sectors and levels. MWC delivers on this ambitious goal by involving active players from the industries most significantly contributing to global connectivity: Automotive, Fintech, Healthcare and Manufacturing. At the show floor, small and big enterprises can network and seal deals within one of the sector-relevant themes: 5G Connectivity, AI Advance, CloudNet, FinTech, Internet of Everything and Tech Horizon. The high-level exhibitors add unmatched quality to the product offering at MWC, making it a crucial event for high ranking visitors and buyers. Companies and policymakers head to Mobile World Congress to discover the future of the mobile ecosystems and plan ahead accordingly.

MWC is undoubtedly the go-to place for discovering vital solutions to closing the digital and connectivity gaps in all economies while meeting climate targets. Supporting regional and national-level digital adaptations are the GSMA Ministerial Programme equipped to house over 160 delegates who shape many countries' digital and economic futures necessary for driving global mobile trends. In essence, the Ministerial Programme is a series of delegate-led conferences and talks dense in information and research findings of what it would take to develop existing mobile structures into universally inclusive mobile connection systems. Therefore all Mobile World Congress attendees have the unique opportunity to make sizeable connectivity impact, locally and globally.
