Barcelona and Shanghai are strengthening a strategic connection based on trade, innovation and cooperation, with the support of BARDC members. On the 25th anniversary of their sister-city partnership, both cities are consolidating a relationship that combines institutional, business and logistical links. Direct air connectivity, the green corridor between their ports, and cooperation around major international events such as the Mobile World Congress and Smart City Expo World Congress are reinforcing their role as gateways between Europe and Asia.
The new framework for collaboration is also promoting business missions, investment, knowledge exchange and joint projects in areas such as AI, digital technologies, mobility, logistics, biotechnology, sustainability and financial services. With the support of BARDC members, Barcelona and Shanghai can further strengthen these connections and create new opportunities for business, innovation and international cooperation.
