In early January, the Mobile Internet Great Wall Club, a China-originated C-level global organization took a group of Chinese and Japanese executives for a 10-days trip to the heart of Silicon Valley – stopping by CES in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Palo Alto to meet with leading companies in the region.

Among the companies met were Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Tapulous and many more!

The target was to get the pulse of the Valley and see what could be applied to China, or what could China bring to Silicon Valley. This Mobile Monday #33 is co-organized by the Great Wall Club to share the learnings from this trip.

This session will be the last one for 2009 and will promote international cooperations with a mix of presentations from 15 Chinese & Australian companies.

A delegation of mobile mates will be flying to Beijing from the State of Victoria (homeland of Mobile Monday Melbourne) on a trade mission, looking for partnerships and business opportunities between China and Australia.

In addition to our Victorian friends, developers of innovative mobile technology platform solutions and content applications, we will have a selection of China-based companies to present.
