Every year since 2006, a partnering (brokerage) event has taken place at the Mobile World Congress, organised by ACC1Ó -a department of the Catalan Government's Ministry of Enterprise and Labour- together with a core group of partners from the Enterprise Europe Network with the aim of helping European start-ups, SMEs and Research groups from the mobile technology sector in initiating transnational partnerships. In 2013 the venue will take place 25-28th February at Fira Gran Via, just down the road from the old location, a large state-of-the-art event space which will allow the show to grow and expand in the years to come.
