Later today I’ll be in Barcelona to attend and cover three events. The first one is HiT Barcelona – World Innovation Summit which will be officially opened on June 17th by José Montilla, President of la Generalitat de Catalunya.
The opening ceremony starts at 9:45 am at the Palau de Congresos located at Fira de Barcelona — the same venue where Mobile World Congress took place in February.
Some of the leading speakers will be:
- Jordi Hereu, Mayor of Barcelona
- Juan Tomás Hernani, Secretary General of Innovation, Ministry of Science and Innovation
- Antoni Castells, Economy Minister
- Marina Geli, Health Minister
- Josep Huguet, Innovation Minister, University and Business
- Miquel Valls, President of the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce
- Josep Lluís Bonet, President of Fira de Barcelona
I’m not sure whether I’ll be at the opening ceremony, but I’ll certainly give my best to keep you in the loop with all the news coming from Spain. Stay tuned…
