ABOUT BARCELONA
Barcelona is an international benchmark in the use of technology.
It is the leading smart city in Spain, and its desire to become smarter every day makes it one of the most attractive cities and one of the biggest brands in the world.
This spirit of continuous innovation and the desire to apply these advances to a wide range of fields has made Barcelona a world reference in architecture, design, performing arts, gastronomy, sport, tourism, scientific research, knowledge and the social environment.
The Catalan capital has shown its commitment to innovation with an advanced network of infrastructures, such as wifi on public spaces, which means the presence of five hundred free access points in all districts of the city, the fibre optic network and the development of 5G technology. In the same way, the 22@Barcelona district has become an important platform that makes Barcelona one of the most dynamic cities in terms of innovation.
Barcelona leads Southern Europe in the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) and has one of the best ICT penetration rates.

CASA RIUS is an ideal space for this event, because it is a space of creative transformation. A place where artists and creators work to take their art to the next level.
This special space allows people to exchange ideas, narrative techniques, concepts… by establishing a dialogue, new projects are born that become catalysts of passions, obsessions and ideals.
