“In our new premises, the Accenture Innovation Canter for Mobility will operate in surroundings conducive to creativity and business problem-solving,” said Ismael Sancha, managing director of Accenture Mobility Spain, part of Accenture Digital. “We will be able to take advantage of MWCB’s unique knowledge and networking environment while sharing the benefits of those interactions with our clients. The Center gives our clients an unparalleled opportunity to see for themselves how mobility-enabled innovation can deliver high performance for their businesses.”

The Accenture Innovation Center for Mobility in Barcelona has 16 mobility architects and consultants working full-time on projects for a variety of industries. They are part of a broader team that designs Accenture’s global assets and develops innovative initiatives in fields such as the Internet of Things, video distribution, mobility architecture, Commerce, and wearable devices, serving clients in Spain and around the world.
