Humanising Technology
From Barcelona, we work for people using technology as a driving force for change, generating a positive impact on society and the economy, and therefore on the planet.
We believe in the transformative power of technology
At Mobile World Capital Barcelona, we believe that technological innovation serves as a catalyst for social transformation when directed towards the common good.
Humanising Technology is a call to use technology in a humanistic manner, recognizing not only its ability to innovate, transform, and enhance competitiveness, but also as a tool to build an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future. It is a purpose-driven digital revolution where technology will help us address unanswered challenges and foster community and knowledge.
Barcelona, with its vibrant energy and culture, provides the perfect stage to harness this momentum.

Technology for people and people for the planet
Sustainability is no longer just green; it is a cross-cutting concept. MWCapital understands sustainability as the base and principle of any action it takes because it places technology at the service of people (human first), and people at the service of building a better, more equitable, responsible, and inclusive world on a global scale.
• We work for people: Placing people at the center of any action because digitization and humanism must go hand in hand (digital humanism)
• We apply and develop new digital services: Using technology as an engine and vehicle for change towards a digital and sustainable society and economy.
• We transform, from a sustainabile perspective, the economy and society, and therefore, the planet, helping to generate a positive impact, minimizing risks, and promoting the creation of shared value.
A purpose-driven digital revolution
MWCapital embodies sustainability. It is from this steadfast commitment that we promote knowledge transfer, championing the creation of deep tech startups and fostering the development of technological projects with a positive impact on society to address various existing gaps.
This is our contribution to activate a purpose-driven digital revolution, where technology helps us solve everyday problems and future challenges, while also fostering community and knowledge.
