December 13, 2007 — Helsinki, Finland and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia –
MobileMonday (MoMo), the global community of over 70,000 mobile industry
visionaries and developers, today announced it will invite the worlds most
exciting and innovative mobile companies to attend the 4th annual Global
Summit in Kuala Lumpur from May 18 – 22, 2008. MobileMonday’s unique
cross-border platform has proven to generate real business opportunities
via cooperative relationships with the Open Mobile Alliance and GSMA,
which represents 700 mobile operators and 200-technology partners
worldwide. The upcoming event, the first ever to be held in Asia, will be
co-located with the World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT 2008)
conference to be held in Kuala Lumpur next year.

Kuala Lumpur is set to be the point of convergence for the largest-ever
gathering of global leaders and decision makers on information and
communications technology. Held once every two years, WCIT is the premier
global forum that brings together leaders in business, government and
academia to impact economic and social development through the exchange of
policies and ideas on technology. WCIT 2008 is expected to be the point of
convergence for more than 2,500 participants from over 80 countries
worldwide. Keynote speakers are expected to include some of the most
respected and admired names in the industry. WCIT 2008 is jointly
organized by the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) and the
Association of the Computer and Multimedia Industry of Malaysia (PIKOM),
with the support of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation
Malaysia.

MobileMonday Malaysian chapter founder RamG and Chairman Dr Arun Kumar
have been working closely with MdeC CEO Dato’ Badlisham Ghazali and
MobileMonday CEO Jari Tammisto to make this event a truly global and
rewarding experience for Malaysia as this gathering will bring
International Experts together in an dynamic setting with Local ICT and
Mobile Players.

MobileMonday recognizes that majority of future innovations in the mobile
development happens in small companies. Typically these start-ups don’t
attend conferences and seminars as they are expensive and offer few
opportunities for new comers. However, one of the central features of the
MobileMonday Global Summit is that it also invites selected leaders and
prestigious influencers from industry giants to join the discussions and
networking. This ensures the discussions are valuable, interesting, and
always inspirational.

MobileMonday has the following global objectives:

– To encourage innovation within the mobile sector.
– To facilitate networking between small and large companies, and between
local and foreign organizations.
– To help local companies effectively participate in international
initiatives through the import and export of visions, concepts,
technologies, know-how and best practices.
– To present innovative visions, trends, studies and forecasts from the
mobile marketplace.
– To facilitate and create partnerships.
– To contribute to the education of the broader public through its
publications, online presence, and media partnerships.

The MobileMonday community is a grassroots living laboratory of ideas,
demos, pilots, benchmarking, and business development. The goal is to
enable the membership to meet with their peers in order to encourage smart
ideas to develop into commercially successful products and services.
