GSMA MWC Barcelona has long been <\/span>the<\/span><\/i> place to network and get deals done for the mobile industry, check out the innovations of tomorrow and hear from the industry\u2019s leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n

But did you know that it\u2019s not just a stellar line-up of speakers that is building anticipation for the 2023 edition? MWC Barcelona will be going far beyond its traditional mobile roots.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMobile World Congress\u201d\u2026 \u201cThe Mobile\u201d\u2026 \u201cCongress\u201d… \u201cBarcelona\u201d… over the years, so many of us have known our event by these names. M\u2026 W\u2026 C\u2026 those three letters can mean many things to many people. But lately, the keen-eyed among us will note our iconic event is branded \u201cMWC Barcelona\u201d. Our brand name represents how the mobile and communications industry is relevant and inherently important for all industries. That\u2019s because the telecoms sector is now a horizontal industry, partnering with all vertical sectors.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2022, 52% of attendees came from outside the telco industry. This year, we\u2019ve already seen an increasing number of businesses and organisations operating outside of the mobile ecosystem recognise the show’s growing importance and sign up for exhibition space.<\/span><\/p>\n

More business leaders and experts from other industries are coming forward as event thought leaders, and we are excited to welcome key players in the transport, finance, professional services, biomedical and logistics sectors \u2013 from Airbus and Segway to Boston Consulting Group and Dow Jones, just to name a few.\u00a0 Recently announced keynote speakers include Andrew Weinberg, the President and CEO of biomedical software company BostonGene, and S\u00e9bastien Borget, Co-Founder and COO of the metaverse gaming platform, The Sandbox.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t already, make sure to check out our first round of announced speakers <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>such as Maersk\u2019s CEO, Ocean & Logistics, Vincent Clerc.<\/span><\/p>\n

These new exhibitors demonstrate the growing importance of MWC Barcelona to industries. The show is widening its scope to engage the full suite of players who are central to the industry digitisation roadmap.<\/span><\/p>\n

I<\/span>t will take boundary-pushing <\/span>businesses \u2013 large and small – <\/span>from across all sectors to truly achieve<\/span> <\/span>Digital Everything<\/span><\/span><\/a>,<\/span> and <\/span>that\u2019s<\/span> why <\/span>we\u2019re<\/span> so pleased to have <\/span>so many <\/span>new players<\/span> joining in the <\/span>conversation<\/span>. <\/span><\/span>Industry City<\/span><\/span><\/a> will be returning in 2023, <\/span>providing<\/span> a space for the most innovative demo<\/span>s<\/span> and <\/span>showcases<\/span> from across t<\/span>he FinTech, Manufacturing, and Smart Mobility industries<\/span> \u2013 and, by the looks of things, <\/span>it\u2019s<\/span> going to be even <\/span>busier than ever<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span> D<\/span>iversification<\/span> gives us<\/span> the most exciting <\/span>opportunity to learn from and experience the <\/span>best of connected technology \u2013 and we must embrace that <\/span>far and wide<\/span> across vertical industries.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
