Mobile World Congress is the world's most important technology event in the field of connectivity and the mobile industry. Organised by the GSMA, the congress brings together device manufacturers, telecommunications operators, innovative start-ups, institutions and international leaders for four days.

Although it began with a focus on mobile telephony, the congress has evolved to cover a much broader spectrum. Today, it is the stage for presenting the latest advances in artificial intelligence, 5G and 6G connectivity, digital innovation and smart solutions for society and businesses. This paradigm shift has turned the Fira de Barcelona venue into a showcase for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing merge to create more sustainable cities.

Innovation, networking and vision for the future

For any professional, attending means anticipating the trends that will transform the future, gaining a privileged insight into how technology is redefining sectors such as healthcare, automotive and finance.

It is also a great opportunity to connect with other professionals. It is a space where leaders, investors and entrepreneurs meet face to face to forge strategic alliances, close high-level commercial agreements and discover the most disruptive ideas in the sector. In this vibrant environment, the exchange of knowledge becomes the spark that drives the next big global projects.

News and trends from Mobile World Congress

The 2026 edition of Mobile World Congress is marked by significant advances in artificial intelligence, connectivity and new devices. Many companies are presenting technologies that integrate AI into smartphones and digital services, as well as improvements in mobile networks and connected device ecosystems.

Among the most talked-about developments at the event was the participation of Xiaomi, which showcased its new series of smartphones, particularly the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. This model represents a major leap forward in photography thanks to advanced sensors developed in collaboration with Leica and improvements in artificial intelligence that optimise performance and user experience.

In addition, other brands have also presented some very notable technological innovations. For example, we have seen new foldable mobile phones that are thinner and more powerful, ultra-thin tablets, and various conceptual devices that incorporate advanced artificial intelligence into their everyday functioning.

The conference is also showcasing advances in connectivity and future networks, with technologies that point towards the evolution of 5G and the development of 6G, as well as real-world applications of artificial intelligence in mobile networks and digital services.
