The UPC will be present, through CIT UPC, in a stand within the pavilion of the Generalitat de Catalunya at MWC Barcelona 2023. The event will take place from 27 February to 2 March at the Gran Via venue of Fira de Barcelona.
The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), through CIT UPC, will have a space in the stand of the Generalitat de Catalunya (located in the Congress Square, Catalonia pavilion, booth 4) at the MWC Barcelona 2023, which will be held from 27 February to 2 March at the Gran Via venue of Fira de Barcelona. There, the University’s technological capabilities and its latest projects will be demonstrated in the areas of smart connectivity, connectivity applied to mobility and industry, 5G, artificial intelligence, security and privacy, and the society of the future, among others.
MWC Barcelona is the largest event in the mobile sector in the world. It brings together the latest innovations and technologies that are presented to the market, and the most influential experts in the sector participate. Under the slogan of ‘Velocity’, MWC 2023 will focus the debate on accelerating growth, relationships and positive change. It explores five key topics that shape the technology of tomorrow: “5G Acceleration”, “Reality +” as a next-generation immersive and mobile technology, “OpenNet” in mobile networks, “FinTech” and the acceleration of mobile banking and digital currencies for transactions in the digital economy, and “Digital Everything”, on the expansion of digital technologies to create value for all industries. 
The UPC stand at MWC 2023 will be located at:
Congress Square, Catalonia Pavilion (between Halls 4, 5, 6 and 7). Booth 4.
Gran Via venue - Fira de Barcelona.
