On September 14th, the long-awaited (for almost two years!) launch on the Island finally materialised. The first Maltese Mobile Monday event “Mobile Industry in Malta: Where next?” attracted over one hundred partricipants.

Presentations were delivered from MoMo's CEO Jari Tammisto and researcher Madan Mohan Rao. "The vibe was very cool, intimate and we dare say, honest!" organizers said.

"People participated fully, and a very clear message was sent to the organizers: we desperately need initiatives like this; not just for established players, but entrepreneurs, students, the works!"

The panel, composed of the regulator, academia, and a world-class telecoms consultant, together with Jari and Madan, discussed openly what Mobile Monday could bring to the Island, and how the Island might benefit from such a connection. The seed is planted, and the work on the second event is in full swing!
