MWC25 Barcelona, the world\u2019s largest and most influential connectivity event, welcomed 109,000 attendees during a transformative week of industry-shaping launches and impactful collaboration, shining a spotlight on advanced mobile technology and AI.
\nIn keynotes and across the stages and summits of MWC25, some of today\u2019s most influential minds debated technology\u2019s role in redefining society, business and culture, with its opportunities and challenges.
