Be Part of Europe’s Leading Digital Talent Event

Talent Arena is launching a call for companies, research centers, startups, universities, and independent developers to present and showcase interactive technological experiences in the exhibition area of Europe’s most influential digital talent event.

Co-organized with MWC, Talent Arena offers a unique opportunity to showcase innovative projects in experiential formats — from functional prototypes and live demonstrations to applied research — before an international audience made up of experts, industry leaders, and emerging talent.

We are looking for proposals that bring technology closer to the public in a tangible, participatory, and thought-provoking way, highlighting the impact of disciplines such as artificial intelligence, advanced computing, engineering, and digital creativity.

Why participate with a tech experience at Talent Arena?

High-impact visibility

Showcase the value of your innovation to thousands of attendees, including experienced industry professionals, tech leaders, and key talent. More than 25,000 people attended the latest edition of Talent Arena.

Immersive and participatory format

Allow visitors to interact with your solution, product, or research live, creating meaningful connections.

Validation and feedback space

Receive direct feedback from the tech ecosystem and boost new collaboration opportunities.

Presence in a global environment

Become part of a platform driving the digital future at both European and global levels.

What kind of experiences are we looking for?

We are seeking experiential proposals or live interactive demonstrations that combine technology, creativity, and real-world applicability, designed so audiences can engage with them directly and tangibly. Categories include:

Technological prototypes and products

Innovative interfaces, applications, development tools, or advanced-stage software and hardware solutions that can be demonstrated in real operation.

Applied research

Projects from universities, laboratories, or technology centers translated into accessible and interactive formats for the public.

AI, XR, or data science experiences

Installations, simulations, or environments using artificial intelligence, extended reality (VR/AR/MR), or real-time data visualization.

Open-source or IoT innovation

Community-driven projects, open platforms, or connected solutions that can be experienced live.

Technology with social or educational impact

In addition, and aligned with Talent Arena’s main themes, experiences must address at least one of the following key event areas:

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Future Tech (Space Tech, quantum computing, sustainable computing, or chips), or Software Development.

IMPORTANT: Please do not submit Keynotes, Talks, or Workshops through this channel, as there is a specific form available for that purpose.
