Start-ups can now learn for free how to best partner with mobile operators

Despite an increasing number of mobile products and services in emerging markets, reaching scale is still a challenge for most mobile innovators. One of the programmes that GSMA Ecosystem Accelerator focuses on is bridging the gap between mobile operators and start-ups, enabling strong partnerships that foster the growth of innovative mobile products and services. Therefore, the team have created this four-part course to help mobile operators and start-ups better collaborate and partner up, to help grow technology ecosystems and scale digital solutions.
