The most important annual event in the mobile industry –the Mobile World Congress– came to a close this week in Barcelona. The Congress provided in-depth coverage of the current and future mobile industry, with a special focus on technological developments, next generation services and growth strategies.

The platform also closed its 4th edition with success records with over 600 startups, +19000 attendees from all over the world and a great variety of keynote speeches and workshops that were developed under 3 main categories: “Disrupted by Mobile”, “Internet of Things” and “Digital Media”.
