4YFN 2025

Held since 2014, the 4YFN exhibition is the startup event of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) trade fair. This show floor filled with innovation allows you to connect with the tech ecosystem and representatives from all facets of the industry.

The 2024 edition of the two shows brought together 101,000 visitors and 3,600 exhibitors from 205 countries. There were more than 28,000 companies on site.

Let’s meet in Barcelona, where the European tech community will shape the future and bring together innovative startups, technology hubs, startup accelerators and incubators, public agencies, corporations and SMEs, coworking spaces and universities!

An exhibition exclusively for tech startups!

Dedicated, like MWC, to tech, 4YFN focuses exclusively on start-ups in the sector, connecting them with a community of investors and an ecosystem dedicated to the development of innovation (public and governmental institutions, universities, existing companies, etc.) in order to encourage the development of start-up projects.

Numerous activities are organised in this sense: awards, workshops, pitching sessions,…

Sectors highlighted:

• e-Health
• Fintech
• Green tech
• Universities and spin-offs
• etc.
