At Mobile World Congress 2026, the spotlight shifted from faster devices to embedded intelligence. In the emerging “IQ Era” AI becomes physical, ecosystems replace standalone products and media must evolve from screen-based storytelling to context-driven, predictive experiences.
At MWC 2026, the real story is not faster devices but control over the infrastructure that will shape economies, cities and security in the 2030s. As 6G moves from connectivity to sensing and AI integration, Europe faces a defining sovereignty test.
At MWC 2026, telecom operators are repositioning themselves as the custodians of digital sovereignty. As AI, edge computing and geopolitical fragmentation reshape the technology landscape, control over networks — not apps — may determine who governs the infrastructure of the future digital society.
The Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona brings together global leaders in connectivity, mobile technology and innovation. Hosted at Fira Gran Via, the event showcases the latest breakthroughs shaping the future of mobile, AI, networks and digital transformation.
Power in the 21st century no longer rests primarily with governments or corporations, but with the infrastructures that coordinate modern life. As control shifts from visible institutions to invisible systems, a fundamental question emerges: who governs when authority dissolves into networks, platforms and code?
This series explores how artificial intelligence, credential inflation and skills-based validation are reshaping the architecture of education. As learning shifts from institutions to digital systems, it examines whether the diploma can endure as a social contract in an age of automated knowledge.
Deep Reflection is a structured process of organisational introspection. It surfaces misalignment between declared purpose and lived behaviour, restoring clarity under structural pressure. Not a performance audit, but a moment of reorientation before incremental adaptation turns into strategic drift.
Artificial intelligence is often framed as a race for larger data centres and greater energy supply. Professor Martijn Heck argues that the real frontier lies elsewhere: in the architecture of the chip itself. By integrating electronics, photonics and advanced packaging into unified systems, heterogeneous integration may determine whether AI scales sustainably — or overwhelms the infrastructure it depends on. In this conversation, Heck outlines why better chips, not bigger factories, will shape the technological balance of the coming decades.
Four accounting firms once known for auditing balance sheets now shape the digital, regulatory and strategic architecture of modern states. As governments and corporations outsource expertise, Deloitte, PwC, EY and KPMG have become indispensable intermediaries — designing systems, interpreting geopolitics and increasingly certifying the safety of artificial intelligence. Their rise raises a critical question: who governs when governance itself is outsourced?
When the European Union’s AI Act entered into force, it was presented as a historic moment. Europe, once again, had set a global standard. In Brussels, the ceremony marked not merely a legislative milestone but a declaration of intent: artificial intelligence would not evolve unchecked. It would be governed.
