About 50,000 visitors from 200 countries are expected to attend the 2010 GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, starting tomorrow February 15th. After a somewhat disappointing congress in 2009, in which companies showcased products from previous years, this year is expected to be faster, greener and ‘cloudier’.
Looking at the conference agenda, it’s not hard to spot the trends for 2010:
- Mobile Clouds – additional storage and new revenue streams to operators
- 4G/ LTE (Long Term Evolution) -the fourth generation of networks, enabling faster downloading in 4G phones (100 megabit per second compared to today’s 21 megabit/sec in 3G phones)
- Green: low-energy consuming phones and products for using the mobile as an energy monitoring device in the house
Last year, VC Cafe reported that budget shortage caused a small representation of the Israeli mobile industry, with only 46 companies exhibiting in the IMA (the Israeli Mobile Association) booth. This year, 72 Israeli companies will take part of the show in two separate halls.
In an interview to Calcalist, Eyal Reshef, chairman of IMA said the rise in the number of Israeli start ups is largely thanks to a 70% sponsorship provided to the Israeli exhibitors by IMA, the Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute, the Israeli Foreign Trade administration and Matimop, the Israel Industry Center for R&D. The IMA expects the companies to have more than 4,000 meetings during the conference.
