This year’s winners show once more diversity and innovation, but most forward also the rapid movement towards smart citizenship for everyone.
The WSA-mobile winners will receive their awards at the WSA-mobile Gobal Congress. From 1-3 February 2015, Abu Dhabi will turn into “a global panopticum of smart minds doing smart things”, WSA Chairman Peter A. Bruck says. “To drive meaningful and relevant innovation in mobile technology, you have to connect smart minds. With the WSA-mobile we dive into the state-of-the-art of mobile content and showcase development. This year’s winners are an excellent selection of this momentum, matching local solutions to local needs.
Abu Dhabi will offer the special stage to highlight the swing of modern mobile technologies serving to develop local communities, national social strategies and meaningful use of mobile technology”.
Hosted by the Abu Dhabi Systems & Information Centre (ADSIC), the event will deliver a best practice exhibition of the best m-Content projects worldwide. The agenda of the WSA-mobile Congress will be a compilation of interaction and inspiration, assembling workshops, business blind-dates and infamous keynotes, bringing together UN and governmental representatives, privates sector and innovators.
