Mobile World Capital Barcelona
Barcelona-based foundation running technology-transfer and venture-building programmes that develop scientific and deep-tech research into companies.
Mobile World Capital Barcelona is a foundation that promotes technological development for a more social and sustainable future. Its stated mandate spans three areas: supporting the technology transfer of scientific and deep-tech projects, developing digital talent, and connecting the technology ecosystem around MWC Barcelona. The organisation describes its work in venture-building terms - developing research into deep-tech companies - with programmes designed to move projects from the laboratory to the market.
Its activity is organised into four strands: technology transfer support for scientific and deep-tech projects; digital talent development through training and reskilling programmes; support for digital projects addressing social and industrial challenges; and ecosystem connectivity, extending the impact of MWC Barcelona across the year by linking companies, institutions, researchers and entrepreneurs. The foundation works from Barcelona with a global remit, across verticals including deep tech, scientific research and academia, and digital and industrial innovation.
Internally, the organisation describes a people-centred culture built around flexibility and adaptability, with flexible working hours and remote-work options supported as part of a stated emphasis on work-life balance. Teams are characterised as results-oriented and focused on encouraging ideas and innovation.
