Pathways to profitability

MWC Barcelona is the world’s largest and most influential event for the connectivity industry, one which unleashes the convergence of technology, community, and commerce. Accenture looks forward to once again taking a front and center position on the event’s content agenda as we aim to amplify our views on balanced investment versus growth strategies for our Communications Service Providers (CSPs) clients, who like their peers across other industries, are facing uphill battles during tenuous times.

Designed to deliver value, insights and experiences across critical industry themes including 5G, Open Net, Reality+, and Digital Everything, Accenture’s MWC23 program will showcase groundbreaking technology, offer guests immersive experiences, feature industry luminaries, Accenture subject-matter experts and ecosystem partners.
