Toronto, Canada is the latest city to launch MobileMonday chapter. Like most of the over 20 chapters globally, MobileMonday Toronto will provide on a monthly basis a casual venue for mobile professionals to get together and network, share ideas and grow the mobile industry.

MobileMonday will also provide an outlet for Toronto area companies to showcase products or services to other global partners.

Co-founders Alex Bosika and Jim Brown believe the timing is right:

“The whole objective of setting up this chapter is to help local companies bridge opportunities on a larger stage. With a high concentration of Mobile Carriers, venture capital investors, marketing firms, universities and technology companies, it’s a natural extension of the community. The Toronto region is a hotbed for talented individuals and companies; we are hopeful MobileMonday Toronto will have a positive impact and foster greater cooperation among industry players. We’re excited to be a part of this global movement.”

Jari Tammisto, CEO of MobileMonday in Helsinki, Finland, is very pleased that the Toronto chapter is being launched.

“Toronto is an important hotspot for mobile technology and business innovation in North America, so we were naturally extremely happy when Alex and Jim decided to put forth the effort to set-up MobileMonday’s second Canadian chapter. We will support the Toronto chapter as best we can and we look forward to welcoming its members into our global network of mobile professionals.”

MobileMonday Toronto will work closely with the Vancouver chapter in the sharing of knowledge and information regarding the Canadian market.
