Tech4good - Mobile World Capital

What do we do

Through the detection of technologies that can solve certain social issues, we promote technological projects with impact, which involve civil society, generating knowledge on strategic issues and good practices linked to the digital world that MWCapital shares globally.

The area of technology with impact (Tech4Good) applies a methodology based on four main areas of work:

Laboratory
Digital Services
Engagement with civil society
Observatory

Other initiatives

Digital Future Society

Digital Future Society is a global program promoted by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation of the Government of Spain in collaboration with Mobile World Capital that connects academics, governments, businesses, and members of civil society with the aim of understanding and addressing the ethical, social, and economic challenges of digital transformation.

‘Àrees Digitals’

As an evolution of the ‘Àrees 5G’ project, this initiative seeks to transfer the potential of Advanced Digital Technologies (ADT) throughout Catalonia and propose pilot projects that allow them to be adapted to different local and sectoral needs. It is an initiative promoted by the Government of Catalonia, with the support of MWCapital and the i2CAT Foundation.

By detecting trends and good practices at a national and international level, MWCapital works to be a radar for technological trends and innovative digital transformation processes that generate a positive impact on society and the economy to make it more inclusive, equitable and responsible.

MWCapital has the goal of transferring the opportunities and technological innovations detected to a specific geographical or sectoral area in order to test them and generate a positive impact that allows us to combat current digital divides, challenges or social, environmental or governance needs that are defined.

The goal: to turn this into pilots that are scalable, permanent and have an impact due to the innovations they entail and the technology they apply.

Our impact in numbers

Open opportunities

+80

for the testing and validation of 5G technology applied to 8 industrial verticals in a city environment.

Pilot projects

+20

13 use cases in the ideation phase and 18 labs in development, 3 already in operation.

Events

+25

distributed in +30 workshops, 10 shows, an annual event and participation in more than 70 international congresses.

MWCapital consolidates the production of strategic knowledge and is committed to developing five periodic reports that address the central issues of the Foundation’s activity. Some of them have a track record of years evaluating the impact of digitalization on certain sectors of society and the economy, others will see the light of day during 2024 for the first time.

Among others, we developed the iconic talent reports that have consolidated MWCapital as a benchmark in digital talent. These are the Digital Talent Overview and the Tech Hubs Overview.
