On opening day of Mobile World Congress on Monday, FC Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu told audience members he wants his club to “build the future of the sports industry.”
With that statement and main objective in mind, the football organization announced early plans for the Barça Innovation Hub project “to transform the world through sporting excellence, using knowledge and innovation,” according to Bartomeu. An upcoming presentation on March 22 at the Camp Nou, home of FC Barcelona, will further detail the Innovation Hub but still, Bartomeu gave MWC attendees an idea of what’s to come as the club strives to positively impact society in a greater capacity.
