Barcelona is once again stepping into the global spotlight as it prepares to welcome the IoT Solutions World Congress (IOTSWC) from 13–15 May 2025 — the leading event for digital transformation through disruptive technologies, held at Fira de Gran Via. But this year, the city’s role goes beyond hosting. It’s also the stage for a strategic side event led by Barcelona & Partners: Digital Infrastructures. Future Outlook.
As the world comes together to discuss IoT, AI, and quantum computing, Barcelona & Partners is gathering key players for a focused conversation on what lies ahead for the backbone of all these technologies: digital infrastructure.
