Mobile Monday meetings have been taking place all over the world since the year 2000.

From September 27 to 29, to celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Mobile Monday founding team is holding a mobile summit in the Finnish capital Helsinki, the city where it all began. Attending this event, which is emblematic for the entire mobile community, is a “must” for Provence Promotion and Euroméditerranée, who will be representing the "The Mobile Valley Marseille-Provence" cluster.

Since the first, informal meetings between industry professionals in Helsinki, the idea has spawned success with more than 100 groups being formed all over the world. On several Mondays each month, volunteer enthusiasts organize events in various cities on a selected theme or for a particular presentation where, both in person and virtually, people can share their know-how and visions for the future.

The Momo’s (as they are known today) birthday party therefore is a grand gathering that will bring together a vast international community in a spirit of friendship to share ideas.

This special anniversary summit, with its theme of "Fin/Est Mobile Innovation", will act as a bridge between two countries that are home to leading players in the mobile industry.
By way of conferences, visits and meetings, ending with an anniversary reception at the medieval Tallinn town hall, the program intends to present the very best the mobile industry has to offer.

Participants who sign up for the site visits will be able to visit the premises of Nokia, Skype or the Ericsson Factory. There’s also the eagerly-awaited awards ceremony on 27th September at the Kaarle XII restaurant in Helsinki, where the year’s top mobile products and services will be competing.

In line with its continued support for the mobile sector, Provence Promotion will be participating in the event together with Euroméditerranée. As an event sponsor, Provence Promotion will have space reserved at the conference sites in Helsinki and Tallinn and on the ferry linking the two venues, where it will showcase “Marseille-Provence: The Mobile Valley ", an area in South-East France that is home to leading edge mobile technology and service companies, R&D centers, several consortia involved in sector-related activities plus the world-renown SCS (Secured Communicating Solutions) competitive cluster.

Erik Fackeldey, ICT Projects Head at Provence Promotion, also will be on hand with the representative of the Marseille MoMo group (MobileMonday Méditerranée, the international network’s second chapter in France after Paris) to make new contacts, develop his network and to give an even higher profile to the mobile sector in Provence.

If you would like to meet us at this event, please contact Erik Fackeldey.
