Mobile Innovation Market
Turning ideas into reality is what innovation is all about - even better when these innovations will shape the mobile industry. That's why the GSMA created the Mobile Innovation Market.
Bringing together the mobile industry's top innovators, investors, operators and key suppliers from all over the world, the Market is designed to identify the industry's top priorities for new products and services, elevate the best-in-class innovations that are building them, and facilitate dialogue with potential interested customers or investors.
The Mobile Innovation Market has several components:
- The GSMA Mobile Innovation Global Awards recognize excellence and showcases innovation by providing innovators the opportunity to be endorsed by the GSMA and take their technology, application or service idea from concept to launch through a unique, high profile audience of Operators, Investors and Suppliers to the Industry, and Media.
- The Global Mobile Innovation and Asia Mobile Innovation Marketplaces occur in conjunction respectively with GSMA's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and Mobile Asia Congress in Macau. In 2008, GSMA will debut a standalone regional Marketplace, and, in all cases Top Innovators pitch to a judging panel and audience comprised of senior executives from mobile operators, large corporations, and venture capitalists.
- Currently in development, the Mobile Innovation Portal will serve as the match-making marketplace for Innovators, Investors, Operators, Strategic Partners, and Corporate interests to stimulate and facilitate research, introductions, discussions and, most importantly, business development.
