ABOUT THE WORLD SUMMIT AWARD Prof. Dr. Peter A. Bruck, WSA Chairman

WSA uses the mechanisms of a contest and an independent jury process to select, demonstrate and promote outstanding content and mobile solutions with global relevance.

Mobile devices are the closest and most critical objects for people in today’s information society. The mobile revolution has reached all sections of society & access to mobile networks has become a primal factor for everyone’s life.

Mobile content developers create exciting content and innovative applications that do more than just meet basic needs of communication.
