I think four years from now was probably the, is gonna be probably the best event for the year for us. So we are a company that serves startups that our clients are startups. So to have so many of them and such wonderful pro projects in the same, in the same area was, er, was incredible for us. We met, we met really nice people that we will engage in collaborations with and also investors that participated there and other players in the ecosystem. Er, I guess next year we will go for a full week instead of just two days and probably more people within my team.13th Mar '23

It was an amazing experience, with a different profile of participants, incredible speakers, and a good experience.
What did you like best about the event?
That there were many stands with content, increased the experience. The climate, impact, track. The 4YFN team is amazing and always willing to help, participate, and add value.What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Registration and entrance are a little bit too time demanding (although I guess it is not simple to get so many people together to enter the event at similar timing). I think that impact content must be increased as there is a great interest; there were literally unending queues. I will have love to have an impact space where more content could be done during the four days, receive impact-themed networkings, position impact startups, etc. The catering in the investor lounge, speakers room, and executive lounge was not very good.Overall experience

Overwhelming and hope giving!
What did you like best about the event?
The number of solutions will help us solve the challenges of our times. It is great to see that tech is starting to solve relevant issues.What could the organizers do to improve the event?
The startups were international, but still, many countries were not present. This could have been better. The food situation during lunchtime was a nightmare. Queuing for hours, and prices were insane.Overall experience

A wonderful experience encompassing every aspect of modern tech and the arts.
What did you like best about the event?
I particularly enjoyed the camaraderie and ease with organising the speaking events.What could the organizers do to improve the event?
The signing between the halls was a little difficult to understand, and poor wifi caused problems in accessing the app. More signs in IRL would be helpful.Overall experience

Interesting networking opportunity
What did you like best about the event?
Keynotes and fireside chats were very nicely organised. Speakers had lots of support, and the process was the smoothest I have seen.What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Maybe be more mindful of having toilets in the speaker corner, the room temperature... Also, sharing the media (at least some pics) with the speakers promptly so our companies can post about it.Overall experience

Undoubtedly MWC Barcelona is the world’s largest conference on global digital connectivities.
What did you like best about the event?
The breadth and depth of the digital economy sectors represented are unrivalled. I only managed to cover a small fraction by the end of the 4-day conference.What could the organizers do to improve the event?
The food supply system could be better. The big line to buy food takes precious time away from the attendants.Overall experience
