We’re very glad to invite you to a great MobileMonday Tel Aviv May event, that will look this time at the opportunities for Mobile Developers at the Emerging Markets.

While most of the Israeli mobile app developers are looking at the US and sometimes at Europe as their target markets, the big opportunities lies in connecting the next billions of mobile and smartphone users to Internet and apps. The mobile and smartphone penetration rate in areas like India, South-East Asia, Africa and Latin America, are growing very rapidly, and the device landscape and app needs are not necessarily the same as in the developed world.

At this month’s MoMoTLV event we will take a closer look at the mobile apps landscape in the developing markets from several perspectives.
