Following on from our hugely succesful event earlier this year, we are holding our annual startup pitch event, you may remember our event last year that was massive and proved to everyone that mobile innovation is alive and kicking in Joburg. This year we are kicking it into overdrive and we have an awesome sponsor, Rorotika Technologies, who will help showcase some amazing mobile innovations with the theme “Changing the World through Innovation”.

After the sponsor’s welcome and presentation, by Rorotika CEO, Frans Joubert, there will be an opportunity for a number of pre-selected mobile innovators to present their “elevator pitch” to the audience. Presentations will be restricted to two minutes each, and the winner will receive: a Samsung Galaxy Note, and the opportunity to become part of the Rorotika incubation program, based on consultation between Rorotika and the winning innovator ( once in a lifetime opportunity here! )

So, if you have a grand idea or an innovation that is mobile related and you need help to develop and market it, this could be your big break! Send a brief description of your innovation/idea to info@mobilemonday.org.za by Wed 25 April and we will assess them, and choose the lucky few who will get to present on the 7th May.

We look forward to seeing you!

Welcome to 2012! From the team at MOMO Joburg we wish you all the best for the year ahead!

To get the year off to a rocking start, please join us for the first MOMO Joburg of the year, “Mobile Applications and the Developer Community in South Africa”.

With smartphone penetration in South Africa at 16% and rising, apps are going to be a critical tool for us in the way we use our mobile devices  sponsored by Vodacom Digital Media, who is advancing the Mobile apps and the developer community in South Africa.

After the sponsor’s welcome, we’ll have a presentation all about the Vodacom Developer Programme and how it can help grow a vibrant developer community here in South Africa. We’ll then host a 10-minute panel discussion on mobile application development.

And now for something new! We’ll be offering three developers the opportunity to pitch their apps at the event. Each developer will have two minutes—we’ll have a stopwatch at the ready—to wow the panel. It’s a great opportunity to get your app out there. The winner, as judged by the panel, will receive free promotion and be featured in the Vodacom App Store. Fill in the form here and we’ll choose the lucky three.
