Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is one of the most important events in the calendar for anyone that dabbles in the mobile sector.
Aside from the thousands of mobilistas, including a large delegation from the UK, what's not to love? Mobile geekery and Barcelona in February. Part of the UK presence at the show includes a UK Pavilion to showcase the best mobile talent from this side of the Channel, backed by Creative Industries KTN and UK Trade & Investment.
They've got together to launch a competition to give a way one place on the UKTI stand for a company to showcase their technology to the leaders of the world mobile industry.
