The Mobile World Congress 2018 begins today and will end on March 1st. This congress has been organized in Barcelona annually since many years now. It brings together over 100,000 attendees and the most cutting-edge companies in the field of new mobile technologies. It has become one of the most important events in this field and one that puts our country in the spotlight of the whole world. Major brands such as Samsung, Sony and Asus use this opportunity to showcase their new products.

This year’s congress will focus on 5G mobile networks and artificial intelligence, as well as the application of these technologies in the field of mobile telephony and virtual and augmented reality. These technologies have been used increasingly in the development of applications, video games and social networks and will be covered broadly at the event.

The development of mobile technologies did not cease at all and it continues to generate increasing investment in research and jobs in various sectors, making it one of the fastest growing sectors in recent years.

The Mobile World Congress is therefore an ideal place if you want to find out about current advancements in mobile technologies, it may be especially useful to all the researchers who strive to be at the forefront of this rapidly growing sector.
