The Next Challenges for the EU Mobile Economy

Don’t miss your chance to join policy-makers from the European Commission along with experts from leading mobile companies, app developers and entrepreneurs to discuss the state of the mobile economy in Europe.

The regulatory landscape, both at the national and international level, has a great influence on the potential of growth of the global App Economy. Policy can and should create the right conditions to allow innovators to easily start and scale mobile businesses and remove barriers for an efficient and non-fragmented global market.

Through an evening of panel discussions and presentations, industry experts will discuss their vision on the role of government in the app marketplace, share predictions on the future of mobile technology, and explore the state of competition in Europe. Following the sessions, speakers and attendees will mingle over drinks and canapés during the networking reception.
