From 1 to 4 March 2027, MWC Barcelona will bring together the global mobile, technology and connectivity industries at Fira Gran Via in Barcelona. Organised by the GSMA, the event is a major meeting point for business leaders, technology companies, investors and policymakers exploring the innovations shaping the digital economy.

Following the 2026 edition, which welcomed 105,000 attendees and 2,900 exhibitors from 207 countries and territories, MWC27 will expand its focus to new industries and emerging technologies.

The 2027 edition will introduce new dedicated spaces for automotive, healthcare and aviation, highlighting how intelligent connectivity is transforming these sectors.

Another key attraction is New Frontiers, which will explore emerging technologies such as quantum computing, satellite connectivity and physical AI, including robotics and other intelligent machines. New exhibitors, including AWS, ElevenLabs and HP Inc., will also join the event.

These developments reflect MWC's evolution beyond telecommunications, bringing together industries increasingly influenced by digital innovation.
