End: Thursday 27 February 2020 5:00 pm

Location: Fira Barcelona, Hall 4, GSMA Innovation City


On Wednesday the GSMA announced the cancellation of MWC Barcelona 2020. Regretfully, this means that the GSMA Innovation City, home to the most innovative mobile technology exhibitions, has also been cancelled. We are sure that you will be as disappointed as we are about this news, but the health and safety of our attendees has always been of paramount importance to us. This difficult decision was made with due regard to the safe and healthy environment in Barcelona and Spain, and because of the global concern regarding the coronavirus outbreak. The related travel concerns and other circumstances made it impossible for the GSMA to hold the event.

 
The Host City Parties respect and understand this decision and the GSMA will continue to work in unison with them in relation to MWC Barcelona 2021.

Our sympathies at this time are with those affected in China, and all around the world.

We appreciate your support and understanding and we look forward to welcoming you again at future events.

Decentralised identity

A new breed of decentralised identity solutions is emerging which leverage distributed ledger technologies (DLT) such as blockchain to create trust frameworks via which users can control and assert information about themselves without any reliance on single identity providers like the social media players.

Visit the GSMA Innovation City to hear how leading operators such as SK Telecom and Turkcell are developing such capabilities and how the GSMA can support your business in exploring the opportunities in decentralised identity.
