Barcelona: where design, innovation and global business converge
Barcelona is unique. A dynamic hub for fashion, design, media, technology, industry, science, and research. A city where innovation sits alongside a richly textured history and a culture that prioritizes quality of life. A small city, built on a human scale, with all the energy, and vitality of a world capital.
