The delegation, which also included representatives from Japan's pavilion at the Smart City Expo World Congress (held in Barcelona from November 4-6, 2025), gained firsthand insight into the Catalunya Media City's facilities and strategy in the audiovisual, digital, and video game sectors.
The Smart City Institute Japan (SCI-Japan) is a key entity promoting innovation and collaboration among administrations, companies, and universities in the smart city domain. This year, it organized the Japanese pavilion under the theme «City Collaboration for Well-being and a Resilient Society».
The visit, coordinated with the collaboration of ACCIÓ, allowed the Japanese representatives to learn about the center's commitment to these strategic sectors. The group toured the Nau de Turbines and visited the Consorci del Besòs.
The delegation was accompanied by Marc López Ribes, head of the Singular Projects Unit at the Consorci del Besòs, who guided the tour of the facilities.
