MobileMonday phenomenon began almost by accident in Helsinki, Finland in the autumn of 2000. A couple of well-known Finnish visionaries invited top executives of the Finnish mobile industry to a pub for an informal get-together and incidentally the time that suited everybody was Monday evening.
Today MoMo chapters are spread across the world including Tokyo, Silicon Valley, Rome and Milan, Italy. MoMO works in hand with other NGOs and World Bank.
Global Mobile Monday network works by
- Encouraging innovation within the mobile sector
- Facilitating networking between small and large companies, locally and internationally
- Helping local companies to get introduces and participate in global events and initiatives
- Facilitating partnerships in business, education and development
