The market intelligence goals of this program are intended to help organisations seeking to add mobility to their devices and services.
We aim to help policy makers, businesses and entrepreneurs to quantify the addressable market, identify public- and private-sector business opportunities, develop standard industry designs and assist supply chain and distribution partners.
We aim to achieve this by:
- Providing manufacturers, businesses and project developers with a thorough understanding of the market opportunities through market sizing, user trial and operational experience reports
- Stimulating industry creativity by showcasing innovative uses of embedded mobility from different markets and segments around the world
- Delivering regular updates about market developments to press agencies and analyst firms as part of the programme’s marketing outreach campaign.
Any suggestions for key issues that should be addressed as part of this programme are welcomed and should be directed to embeddedmobile@gsm.org.
