In a short speech that sounded balanced, Colau highlighted the areas of Barcelona that are undergoing transformation and that the Mobile World Congress (MWC) has chosen the Catalan capital as its permanent venue, thanks to the institutions “and also the sector private”. He, in turn, has recalled the achievement of the America’s Cup of sailing in 2024.
He has defended that “institutions lead the economy” and that Barcelona has been doing so and that, in recent years, Barcelona’s economic model has diversified, which was previously too closely linked to tourism. “And today Barcelona is consolidated as a technological ‘hub’ in southern Europe”.
