Direct grant awarded to the Barcelona Mobile World Capital Foundation

Royal Decree 594/2026 regulates the direct award of a grant to the Barcelona Mobile World Capital Foundation to support the Barcelona Mobile World Capital (BMWC) strategic project. This measure falls under the remit of the Secretariat of State for Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence to promote the digital economy and the adoption of emerging technologies. The objective is to enhance Spain's international standing as an innovation hub and strengthen the national technological ecosystem.

How it affects those involved

The regulation does not create direct obligations or rights for companies or individuals, but rather formalises public support for the organisation of the Mobile World Congress (MWC). The impact on the technology sector, startups, and service industries (tourism, logistics, hospitality) is indirect, as it consolidates an event with an estimated economic impact of 561 million euros in Barcelona and the creation of approximately 13,000 temporary jobs.
