The event was attended by the Spanish Minister for Economy and Business, Nadia Calviño, as well as Francisco Polo, Secretary of State for Digital Advancement; Federico Ruiz, director of the Observatorio Nacional 5G, and Carlos Grau, CEO of Mobile World Capital.
The Forum concluded that 83% of European H2020 projects on 5G have Spanish participation, which represents an investment of 56 million euro by the European Commission. The i2CAT Foundation is an active leader of the 5G revolution with 8 active 5G H2020 projects and a prominent role in the 5G Barcelona initiative and associated projects, which are positioning the Catalan capital as one of the main hubs for the validation and adoption of this novel technology in Europe.
