By GlobalDataWhile previous meetings have always been held in Asia, this year will see the event held in Luxembourg, in a bid to boost connections between Europe and Asia.
This idea is reflected in the overall theme for the event, which is Cooperation and Connectivity.
The UK will also be keen to raise its presence at the event, with Chancellor Philip Hammond attending to participate in a session on debt sustainability and macroeconomic issues in infrastructure.
Startups descend on Barcelona
Today will see startups from across Europe head to Barcelona for a one-day conference with a difference.
Taking an anarchic approach to the world of startup conferences, Wise Punk begins and ends with networking events accompanied by a live DJ.
In between are a host of talks by inspiring characters from the world of startups, punctuated by power learning sessions.
Speakers include Typeform founder David Okuniev, Glovo co-founder Sacha Michaud and Zound Industries founder Konrad Bergström.
