Vodafone Netherlands today announces that it will be sponsoring Mobile Monday Amsterdam until September 2009. As Founding Partner, Vodafone helps enable eight Mobile Monday network events where innovative people in the field of mobile internet can meet and share knowledge and experience.
Harry Odenhoven, Director Online Services at Vodafone Netherlands: "Mobilizing the internet is one of Vodafone’s strategic goals. The success of mobile internet depends on a number of things. In addition to a high-speed, good quality network and suitable handsets, it is important that relevant content and services are being developed. Furthermore, every company in the Netherlands should have a proper mobile version of their company website. The Mobile Monday events facilitate meeting other relevant contacts in the field and hence, stimulate mobile internet usage. Therefore, we are convinced that supporting this initiative is worthwhile."
Raimo van der Klein, Founder of Mobile Monday Amsterdam: "We are pleased that Vodafone wants to support Mobile Monday as Founding Partner. Vodafone is an essential player in the eco system and the future development of mobile internet. The cooperation enables us to take the events for our community to the next level. This does not only include the speakers and the total experience of our events, but also innovative ways for networking."
Mobile Monday Amsterdam was founded a little under a year ago and offers an independent platform for knowledge creation and exchange to organizations that are active in the field of mobile internet. Mobile Monday Amsterdam now has over 1,100 members, all professionals in the field. During the popular bi-monthly events, companies are given the opportunity to present themselves and several 'mobile' subjects are discussed. Mobile Monday Amsterdam is part of an international community, active in 50 cities worldwide and has over 70,000 professional members from the mobile internet sector.
