Europe is opening up again! The strategic ICT event MWC Barcelona / 4YFN 2021 will take place from June 28th to July 1st, 2021. GSMA has taken all required precautionary measures and MWC Barcelona has even been classified as Essential Travel for all live participants. The Netherlands will therefore be present again, in full compliance with the health and safety rules by the Catalan/Spanish government.

On Friday April 23rd we would like to provide you with an overview of our plans for the NL MWC & 4YFN 2021 programme and the proposed format of the event. MWC21 will be fully hybrid offering both live activities in Barcelona and innovative online experiences. We are aligning with NBSO Barcelona to deliver a single integrated Netherlands programme for both 4YFN and MWC21.

In cooperation with Team dutch digital delta and the Topsector ICT, MWC Barcelona has formally been confirmed as strategic ICT event for The Netherlands, which will be elaborated upon during the session.
