The world's biggest mobile tech fair is taking place in Barcelona, but MWC goes way beyond phones, showcasing all kinds of emerging technology from tech giants such as Samsung, Google, Huawei and Microsoft. Artificial intelligence is the buzzword on everyone's lips. Lorcan Doherty finds out more from Mobileum's Avnish Chauhan, Dell's Warren Jackson, and IMA's Eyal Reshef. Lea Beliaeva Bander talks to two Catalan companies at startup space 4YFN (Four Years from Now): Envjoy Nature and WindowSight. Oriol Escudé Macià checks out Alef Aeronautics' flying car prototype and other aviation innovations: SK Telecom's urban air mobility (UAM) aircraft, an AI-assisted drone used by the Mossos d'Esquadra, and Aalto's High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS). Cillian Shields heads to a session called 'Quantum Industry: A Bird's-Eye View' to discover more about how this cutting-edge technology is evolving. This week's Catalan phrase is 'A camí llarg, passa curta' - 'On a long path, short steps'.
