Barcelona’s MWC22: the first with the pandemic

Barcelona once again became the center of the international technological scene in an event held for several days and that saw the presence of most of the giants of the sector. The city, in fact, woke up from the pandemic nightmare with the Mobile World Congress, the annual worldwide mobile phones fair.

Felipe VI inaugurated the fair but neither Aragonès nor Colau received him in the official greeting. Russia’s space was left emptied by war with Ukraine.

Not all those who would have wanted the organization of the most important meeting in the world of telephony were present, but there were a good number that reach 60,000 people, still far from the more than 100,000 attendees of the best edition of Mobile.

Normality returned to the 17th edition of the fair with the novelty of the electronic pass, which worked, and with a lot of activity from the first hour. There were no traffic problems because, among other things, many schools in the city had a holiday.
