Expanding Markets, Transforming Lives

Throughout the world, mobile banking can bring low-cost financial services to millions of people, especially in developing countries where banking services are not readily available. It also has enormous potential to open new markets for organizations that can facilitate it. GSMA Mobile Money Summit 2008 provided the insights and connections to make the most of this global phenomenon.

The inaugural Mobile Money Summit was held at the InterContinental CityStars Hotel, Cairo May 14-15, 2008. The event attracted over 400 senior executives from financial services institutions, mobile network operators, development organizations, solutions vendors and regulatory and policy makers, and provided for the first time a comprehensive demonstration of the addressable markets, a showcase for new solutions, and a forum for sharing key success factors and lessons learned from around the world. The goal of Mobile Money Summit 2008 was to stimulate greater understanding and collaboration between all stakeholders — globally, regionally and locally.
