Likewise, the city <strong>is a hotbed of local and international Startups looking for a place in the market<\/strong>. They end up generating thousands of new jobs of great technological value.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona must undoubtedly follow this path that will keep the city at a cosmopolitan and modern level. Let's give concrete <strong>examples to certify these positive statements about our city<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mobile World Congress (MWC)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In 2019 it is expected to exceed 107,000 attendees and generate an economic impact of \u20ac 473 million and 13,900 temporary jobs.<\/p>\n<p>The main technological multinationals have confirmed their attendance: Facebook, Google, Huawei, LG, Sony, Samsung, etc ...

An ecosystem of tech companies with enormous potential has been achieved in the Pier 01.<\/p>\n<p>It is a clear example of the dynamism of the city of Barcelona and how entrepreneurs strongly bet on Bcn.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The social media giant, with more than 1 billion users worldwide, will <strong>install a content control space in the Gl\u00f2ries Tower<\/strong> with more than 500 quality jobs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The e-commerce giant has chosen 22 @ in Barcelona to <strong>install a center to serve small and medium-sized companies in Spain, France and Italy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Asics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Japanese multinational has <strong>created an innovation center to accelerate sports start-ups<\/strong>.
