What makes it special

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.
