Mobile Premier Awards is one of the largest global competitions in the mobile world. Leading industry experts are looking for the best innovations and startups of the year. The main prize will be announced during the Mobile World Congress on February 15, 2010, in Barcelona. MobileMonday Poland is organizing the national edition of the competition.
– The organizers of MobileMonday Poland are very closely connected to the Polish and global Venture Capital scene, and are active as entrepreneurs and investors – says Zoe Adamowicz, President of the Board of Founders of the MobileMonday Poland Foundation – Thanks to these circumstances, organizing a local, Polish competition for innovators and entrepreneurship in the mobile and wireless market came very naturally to us.
Applications, i.e., ideas and business plans, can be submitted until December 15, 2009, in English to the address Zoe.Adamovicz@mobilemonday.pl. Selected companies will be invited to an event where they will present their projects to prominent guests from the mobile world. The winner, chosen by an international jury, will have the opportunity to travel to Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress and present their business idea to the most important investors and companies in the industry.
– We hope that this initiative will open up new opportunities for young entrepreneurs and add innovative energy to the Polish mobile and wireless market – emphasizes Zoe Adamovicz.
The competition is open to:
– everyone involved in the mobile world (existing companies, products, as well as ideas) on the Polish market (or with a plan to enter the domestic market in the near future)
– the company/project/idea must have a strong connection to the mobile sector (whether in the type of services offered, applications, or product, in whole or in part of its operations)
– the company should have been on the market for no longer than 2 years, or in the case of a project within an older company, it cannot be older than one year. In the case where only an idea for a company or project is submitted, it obviously does not have to exist on the market yet, but it should have an outlined plan for the future.
Applications should include:
– a description of the company/project/idea (max 5 PowerPoint slides) and links to the company and screenshots. If the product is not on the market and therefore does not yet have a website, a description and screenshots are sufficient.
