4YFN – MWC’s INNOVATION HUB

One of the most exciting and newer events of Mobile World Congress is 4YFN (Four Years From Now).
Home of the growing global tech startup community, this event provides an intriguing and stimulating look into the future of technology. It is the absolute centre point of the congress for innovation, with over 600 new start-ups exhibiting this year and pitching their ideas.
The event will feature three stages, with inspiring speakers such as Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia, who spoke at last year’s MWC. Don’t miss out on an exclusive look into how some of today’s leading figures took their start-ups from their small beginnings to now billion dollar organisations.
Whether you have a start-up, are interested in developing one or just want to learn more about this side of innovation, this event will be a hub for invaluable advice and information from expert mentors within interactive workshops and presentations.
With over 700 investors in search of the next big idea and over 12,500 attendees to network with, it’s an unmissable opportunity for start-ups and for some could even lead to their big break.
