It’s not who we are, it’s what we do
Mobile World Capital Barcelona wants to be a global reference to build a more sustainable future through the humanistic use of technology. The Foundation maximizes MWC’s legacy by promoting initiatives in the fields of technology transfer, promotion of digital talent, development of innovative technological projects to impact society and the generation and distribution of knowledge.
Technology Transfer
We support scientific and deep tech projects in their transition from the lab to the market, through our own technology transfer methodology. We occupy a unique space in Europe within the ecosystem of initiatives to help and support the creation of scientific spin-offs.
Tech4Good
We promote projects that are based on digital technologies and have the vocation to improve society and industrial processes. With this objective in mind, a methodology based on these four main areas of work is applied: Lab, Digital Services, Engagement with Civil Society and Observatory.
Digital Talent
We promote economic development through the generation of new digital talent, fostering training in digital skills, the reskilling of professionals and the attraction and recruitment of new talent with the aim of positioning Barcelona as a capital of digital talent.
