MWC Barcelona Stand Builder
Practical information for MWC Barcelona exhibitors
MWC Barcelona takes over the entire Fira de Barcelona Gran Via venue, with themed halls and large spaces for the world’s leading operators and manufacturers.
Build-up is concentrated in the days before opening and dismantling starts as soon as the show closes, with working hours and loading slots set out by the organiser in the exhibitor manual. It has the longest and most demanding build-up in Barcelona’s calendar: large stands start weeks ahead and truck access runs in slots, so logistics are planned from day one.
Venue regulations worth bearing in mind:
- Stand approval: the organiser asks for stand plans and elevations by a set deadline; we prepare and submit them for you.
- Materials: everything we build meets the venue’s fire-rating rules and travels with its certificates.
- Height limits: they vary by hall and by stand position (island, corner or row), so we check them before the design is signed off.
- Connectivity and power: network and device demos need a dedicated connection and plenty of power, both ordered through the venue’s official services.
Ideally, book your stand builder 3–4 months before MWC Barcelona, whether you need a compact trade show booth or a large island stand: that leaves time for 3D design, plan approval, production and ordering technical services. We build in our Barcelona workshop and take the stand to the venue by truck, with our own installation and dismantling crew. You deal with one English-speaking project manager and receive a single invoice with Spanish VAT. See our stand build and installation in Barcelona page and our exhibition stand planning checklist.

Exhibiting at Mobile World Congress Barcelona with a professional exhibition stand lets companies compete in an environment of maximum international visibility. A custom stand helps convey innovation, technological strength and brand differentiation, while making room for meetings, product demonstrations and immersive experiences for potential clients.
For technology companies, start-ups, telecoms operators and digital providers, MWC Barcelona is a unique opportunity to position themselves before a global audience, win new business contacts and strengthen their brand presence in the international tech ecosystem.
High-impact exhibition stand design for Mobile World Congress
At MWC you compete for attention with the most cutting-edge brands in the world, and design is everything. We create spaces that make technology part of the experience: interactive demo zones, screens and audiovisual solutions, networking areas and meeting rooms for closing deals in a refined setting.
We develop the concept, the 3D design and the look and feel so that your brand – whether you are an operator, manufacturer, software company, start-up or technology provider – projects innovation and leadership at one of the most demanding showcases in the world. That is what you should expect from an MWC stand builder.
Stand production and build-up at Fira Gran Via
We build everything in our own workshop and install it directly at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, so we control lead times, quality and finishes with no middlemen. Being close to the venue is a real advantage at a fair with an intense build-up and very tight deadlines like MWC.
We handle the full logistics – transport, build-up, electrical installations, connectivity, lighting and dismantling – always in line with Fira Barcelona's technical regulations. International exhibitors get a single English-speaking point of contact and an invoice with Spanish VAT.
A stand that generates high-value contacts
MWC is where alliances are forged and strategic deals are closed with international players. That is why we design the space to make meetings easy, organise visitor flow and put your flagship products and demos centre stage, so that every square metre works towards your business goals.
360° management: from the initial concept to the final dismantling, one team is responsible for everything, so you can focus on presenting your technology and networking.
