Mobile World Congress Brokerage 2011

Mobile World Congress 2011

With more than 1,300 exhibitors and over 50,000 visitors in 2010, the Mobile World Congress has cemented its reputation as the world's largest mobile technology fair. Every year since 2006, a partnering event has taken place at the World Congress, organised by ACC1Ó -a department of the Catalan Government's Ministry of Innovation, University and Enterprise- together with a core group of partners from the Enterprise Europe Network with the aim of helping European start-ups, SMEs and Research groups from the mobile technology sector in initiating transnational partnerships.

Brokerage Event

The purpose of the brokerage event is to enhance opportunities for companies to explore and find partners from the mobile technology sector. A large diversion of prospects is available as all sort of collaboration sought is offered; (Research & Development, Technical Co-operation, Joint Venture Agreement, Manufacturing Agreement, Licence Agreement, Commercial Agreement, FP7-ICT Project). In order to achieve this goal, we collect descriptions of technologies obtained or sought by innovative companies in the mobile industry sector, we check that the information is relevant and clearly explained and  compile them into an on-line catalogue for participants to browse through.

In 2010, over 900 companies from 35 countries submitted more than 1000 profiles describing technologies they were offering or seeking. Over the 4 days of the brokerage event, approximately 1,200 meetings took place.

The Mobile Brokerage Event 2011 is the ideal environment for:

- small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), offering and / or looking for new technologies
- scientists / research institutes offering innovative RTD results
- start-up companies and entrepreneurs
- operators willing to meet innovators and added-value service providers
