Catalonia: a digital innovation leader

"Catalonia is on the European podium when it comes to receiving technological investment projects and a leader within Spain," the Catalan government's vice-president, Laura Vilagrà, said during the press conference that took place on the Palau Robert's courtyard. 

Foreign countries account for 40% of the digital investment that Catalonia receives, Vilagrà informed. 

"The Mobile World Capital helps us position ourselves internationally and contributes to making our technology play a key role," she added. 

 "We are currently living during the evolution of digitalization, nobody could have predicted the current technology 20 years ago," Francesc Fajula said.
