Brand new exhibit features interactive demonstrations, live stage and innovation projects from GSMA Foundry
17 February 2022, Barcelona: The GSMA has announced a new exhibit for MWC22 Barcelona, Industry City, an immersive exhibition that brings the event theme, Connectivity Unleashed', to life. Mobile connectivity is creating a better future, and Industry City highlights how the FinTech, manufacturing and, smart mobility industries are creating a seamless connection between the digital and real worlds.
We are on a journey to digital everything, and it will take boundary-pushing experts from all sectors, not just telecoms, to help us get there. 5G technology enables leaps in efficiency for industry, and we look forward to bringing together leaders from automotive, manufacturing, fintech, and mobility to share their insight, said Alex Sinclair, Chief Technology Officer, GSMA. Industry City is the most comprehensive showcase of customer markets at MWC Barcelona ever, spanning smart manufacturing, to AI automated drones, to demonstrate the benefits of mobile connectivity.
Co-delivered with Knowledge Partner, Accenture, and with support from Smart Mobility Industry sponsor, Vinfast, and FinTech Industry sponsor Citigroup, the Industry City will host a series of talks by vertical experts, including the Security Summit on 1st March delivered with sponsors Palo Alto Networks and Kaspersky.
In addition, Accenture will showcase interactive demonstrations focused on virtual metaverse tours and new paths to growth for communication service providers (CSPs).
Collaboration across industries is critical to the success of the mobile ecosystem. Accenture is excited to be a part of the launch of Industry City at MWC22 Barcelona. It creates a unique forum for CSPs and partners to come together on ideas and solutions enabling a new wave of connected industry, said Andrew Walker, Accenture's Global Communications and Media industry lead.
