The companies that took part in the Greek delegation are returning from MWC Barcelona 2026 — one of the most important events in the global market — with a wealth of agreements and contacts across the international digital technology ecosystem.
Under the banner “Innovative Minds: Global Impact”, Greece had its own pavilion at MWC Barcelona 2026, held on 2–5 March 2026 at the Fira Gran Via exhibition centre in Barcelona. For the 13th consecutive year, Greece was represented at the event, with the Greek delegation co-organised by the Ministry of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence, the Hellenic Investment and Foreign Trade Company (Enterprise Greece) and the Association of Innovative Applications Enterprises of Greece (SEKEE).
This year’s delegation brought together 48 companies and organisations — a record for Greece at MWC. According to the data collected, participants held more than 635 business meetings with companies from around the world, several of which led to agreements with immediate business prospects — among them Acromove, Brainfood and MSTAT. At the same time, companies such as Acromove, Argo Semiconductors, Fuelics and MSTAT presented new products and solutions that attracted the interest of international businesses, confirming the maturity and competitiveness of the Greek technology ecosystem on the international stage. Through networking activities with other national delegations, the Greek delegation also built important contacts with companies and organisations from Catalonia, Spain and the Netherlands, among others — expanding its network of partnerships at European and international level.
MWC Barcelona is the leading annual meeting point of the global digital technology, telecommunications and IT market — the stage where the next year’s decisions take shape. Greece’s presence in this environment is not merely symbolic: it is an opportunity for international visibility, networking and business growth that is fully exploited.
During MWC 2026, a Memorandum of Cooperation was also signed between Eurobank’s egg Accelerator and the European cluster TURISTEC, strengthening the links between the Greek and Spanish ecosystems. The agreement establishes an institutional framework for cooperation and provides for soft-landing support for startups, joint pilot projects and innovation activities, cooperation in European funding programmes, and channels for exchanging know-how and investment opportunities — strengthening access to capital and cross-border business growth.
The Minister of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence, Dimitris Papastergiou, stated: “Greece’s presence at MWC Barcelona this year confirmed the significant progress the Greek technology and innovation ecosystem has made in recent years. Greek companies presented mature solutions and applications with clear international appeal, creating new prospects for partnerships and growth. The challenge for the coming years is to harness the potential of Artificial Intelligence in ways that address the real needs of society and the economy, rather than simply following a technology trend. This year’s experience confirms that Greece can play a meaningful role in the technological developments shaping Europe’s digital future.”
As noted by the CEO of Enterprise Greece, Dr Marinos Giannopoulos: “MWC Barcelona is a leading global reference point for the digital technology sector. Greece’s dynamic participation highlights the international competitiveness and quality of its technology sector. Guided by the strategic goal of strengthening the international outreach of Greek businesses, Enterprise Greece continues to actively support the country’s participation in the world’s leading international events. Having seen the first positive results and the strong response of the participating companies, we are pleased to announce that preparations for MWC Barcelona 2027 are already under way.”
SEKEE President Manos Macromallis said: “This year’s Greek delegation exceeded our expectations. Startups, scale-ups and established companies in artificial intelligence, fintech, cybersecurity and 5G presented solutions that compete with the best in the world — proving in practice that ‘Innovative Minds: Global Impact’ is not just a slogan but a reality. Our goal was not simply to be present on the international stage, but to leave with partnerships, investor contacts and new markets — and that is exactly what we achieved. Greece has every potential to become a significant hub in the global innovation ecosystem, and MWC 2026 was another step in that direction.”
The Greek delegation was supported by the Hellenic Telecommunications & Post Commission (EETT), the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), Eurobank’s EGG business accelerator, Samsung Electronics Hellas, the Region of Attica and the Hellenic-Spanish Chamber of Commerce.
The Greek delegation also enjoyed the support of a wide range of organisations from the country’s innovation ecosystem, including the Region of Central Macedonia, the Hellenic Association of Mobile Telephony Companies (EEKT), the Hellenic Emerging Technologies Industry Association (HETIA), the Association of Information Technology Enterprises of Greece (SETPE), NCSR “Demokritos” and the ahedd digital innovation hub, the European Digital Innovation Hub for Digital Governance – GRdigiGOV-innoHUB, the “ARCHIMEDES” Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre, the Enterprise Europe Network, the ACCI’s Athens Startup Business Incubator (THEA), the National Bank of Greece’s NBG Business Seeds, Technopolis Thessaloniki and AI Catalyst.
As stated by the President of the ACCI, Giannis Bratakos, “the participation of the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Athens Startup Business Incubator (THEA) in MWC Barcelona 2026 confirms our steadfast commitment to strengthening the international outreach and innovation of Greek entrepreneurship. The ACCI actively supports startups, building bridges with international technology and investment ecosystems. Through strategic partnerships and targeted actions, we help shape a dynamic and competitive digital production model for the country.”
