Ericsson Mobility World makes this possible, by bringing together potentially thousands of companies, to share knowledge, create partnerships and build the future. Through regional centers and web-based services, Ericsson Mobility World will enable companies to collaborate on creating innovative services and applications. The global nature of Ericsson Mobility World is important because it gives operators, content providers and other companies access to tens of thousands of developers around the world. Both global and local companies benefit, particularly in markets where the existing developer community might be small. The advantage to developers is being able to offer their skills to more than 400 operators worldwide and gaining access to a global knowledge network.
Consumers ultimately benefit too, through services that meet 'real world' needs.
Services offered within Ericsson Mobility World will support partners through all phases of creating applications and services, from developing the initial idea, technical concept and business plan evaluation, through to design, technical development, testing, network implementation and integration. Ericsson Mobility World builds on existing services that Ericsson has developed to support partners. Examples include the Mobile Application Initiative and local facilities, such as Ericsson Cyberlab in the USA, the Mobile Internet Institutes in Latin America, OpenLab in China and 42nd Precinct in Australia. Venture capital organizations within Ericsson will also have close involvement. In addition, Ericsson Mobility World embraces the Ericsson Developers' Zone, a web-based, global resource for tools, technologies, training and other forms of support focused on Mobile Internet.
