Why Barcelona?


Barcelona's innovation heritage is of the highest pedigree. Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Antonio Gaudi, Juan Antonio Samaranch and Lluis Domθnech i Montaner left their mark on the culture, architecture and people of Barcelona.

Today's innovation leaders include Ferran Adria of El Bulli, The 22@ District, Norman Foster, FIRA, FC Barcelona, Desigual, Mango, Yahoo! Research, HP R&D Centre, Las Ramblas, Custo, Barcelona Activa, Fusion for Energy, Barcelona Supercomputing Center (Europe's most powerful computer), Barcelona Digital Foundation, as well as hundreds of festivals, universities, science and innovation parks, entrepreneurs and artists. And then there is the Mediterranean lifestyle, climate and the people themselves.

And these are just some of the reasons to choose Barcelona as our video suggests!
