Mobile World Congress popularly known as MWC holds in multiple locations. The most popular of them is MWC Barcelona which held this year in June, but there is also MWC Shanghai and MWC Los Angeles. Now, the GSMA is bringing the event to Africa this year with the first edition set to hold in the capital of Rwanda.

The first edition of MWC Africa will be a virtual event even though the GSMA says it will be held in Kigali, Rwanda. The reason is because of the on-going pandemic, so in-person events are on hold. An in-person event will hold in 2022.
