The goal is to surpass the record figures of the 2025 edition, which welcomed 85,351 verified unique visitors and generated an economic impact of 520 million euros for Barcelona. Blackman emphasized that Catalonia is one of the main audiovisual hubs in southern Europe, making it “the perfect home for ISE initiatives.”
