On the sidelines of MWC Barcelona 2026, the Greek Minister of Digital Governance & Artificial Intelligence, Dimitris Papastergiou, met with Spain’s Minister for Digital Transformation, Óscar López, for a high level discussion focused on the protection of minors from digital platform addiction and the growing need for coordinated European action in the digital sphere.
The meeting highlighted the increasing importance of cross border cooperation in shaping responsible, human centric digital policy at a time when emerging technologies are evolving faster than regulatory and societal frameworks. Particular emphasis was placed on the responsibility of governments and institutions to create safer digital environments for younger generations while preserving the innovative potential of the digital economy.
Beyond the immediate policy agenda, the exchange reflected a broader convergence between Greece and Spain on issues related to digital governance, technological responsibility, AI regulation, platform accountability and the future of Europe’s digital ecosystem.
MWC Barcelona continues to reinforce its role as one of the world’s leading platforms where technology, policy and international dialogue intersect, bringing together governments, institutions, innovators and industry leaders to shape the next phase of Europe’s digital future.
