MobileMonday (MoMo) is an open community of mobile industry visionaries, developers and influential individuals fostering cooperation and cross-border business development through virtual and live networking events to share ideas, best practices and trends from global markets. MoMo chapters are active in 80 cities worldwide, and continues to launch new locations monthly.

MobileMonday has the following global objectives:

• Foster an open independent innovation platform within the mobile sector.
• Facilitate industry networking between small and large companies and individuals.
• Bridge partnership exchanges between domestic and international organizations.
• To present innovative visions, trends, studies and forecasts from the mobile marketplace.
• Provide opportunities for local members to effectively participate in global initiatives.

MobileMonday is organized by a group of some 300+ dedicated volunteers from around the world. Originating in Helsinki, Finland, in the year 2000, MobileMonday has grown into the world’s leading mobile community.

About MobileMonday Tokyo
MoMo Tokyo is the leading networking organization supporting Tokyo’s mobile industry and has become a key gathering point for corporate managers, entrepreneurs, developers, analysts and the media in Japan.

Launched in Japan in September 2004, MobileMonday Tokyo hosts regular networking events that routinely attract 100-200 participants working within the wireless industry. Events to-date have featured showcase presentations from major companies, including; Adobe, Cybird, DoubleClick, Google, HP, HTC, KDDI, Microsoft, MTV, NEC, NHK, Mozilla, Nuance, Opera, RIM, Sony, W3C and Warner Music, as well as from SME’s, including; ColorZip, FreeVerse, G-Mode, ImaHima, Mpulse and Naviblog and many others.

MobileMonday Tokyo events are made possible in part through the kind sponsorship of forward-looking companies that understand the power of networking and the benefits of supporting events that support people and business.

Furthermore, the MoMo Tokyo site provides a virtual meeting space where participants can connect with the growing community of MoMo chapter cities from around the world. It is also the central information point for all MoMo Tokyo activities, including our past presentation archive and networking events and, in the future, executive and developer seminars, briefings and other gatherings aimed at supporting the mobile industry.

Philosophy
Our philosophy includes openness, equality, inclusion and the assumption that ideas should be tested through vigorous debate, critical examination and peer review. We also believe that initiative and risk-taking should be honored and that the mobile industry plays a key role in shaping society. There is a direct relation between mobile interconnectedness and political, economic and social freedom, the strengthening of democracy, the rational management of our future and the triumph of reason and enlightenment.

Most people on planet Earth have never touched a computer – and they never will. But it is conceivable that, one day, everyone will have a mobile phone that allows them to communicate with fellow citizens, access networks and improve the quality of their lives, their livelihood and their future.

MoMo is a tool to help the worldwide industry achieve benefits for everyone by spreading knowledge and encouraging people with good ideas to take action. As “mobile folks,” we invite you to examine how this industry can contribute to making our neighborhoods, our cities and our societies better.

Who is behind MoMo?
