12th Heidelberg Innovation Forum: The Mobile Ecosystem

The mobile industry has advanced with a rapid pace within the last years: The dispersal of the mobile internet, the arrival of LTE and the availability of ever more efficient devices deliver the basis for a flourishing mobile ecosystem. At the same time, users are engaging more and more with mobile social networking, and apps are becoming an integral part of our life and work. Traditional sectors, such as construction, mechanical engineering and the automotive industry as well as emerging industries such as creative industries, have realized the value that mobile technology has to offer to their business as well.

The Heidelberg Innovation Forum 2013 is looking for business ideas that respond to this increasing mobility of individuals and enterprises harnessing the potential of mobile technologies.
