The winners were announced live last night at a red-carpet awards ceremony hosted by MEF at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. People queued to get in to the MEFFYS and enjoy a night of amazing performance art, live music, dinner, dancing and more.

Each award is well deserved and showcases companies and individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the mobile ecosystem. Our awards nights get bigger and glitzier every year, and this year was no exception! We hope that the MEFFYS party will be a staple of future MWCs in the coming years,” adds Betti.
