The Dutch high-tech sector at MWC Barcelona
At MWC Barcelona 2026, it was already clear that the Dutch semiconductor industry is playing a growing role in telecom and connectivity. Companies such as Axelera, Qualinx, Semiblocks, and Eyeo demonstrated how Dutch innovations are shaping the next generation of wireless networks, edge AI, and energy-efficient connectivity.
Preparing for MWC Barcelona 2027
