Eight Great UK Mobile Companies to Tour Boston Next Week
This post was submitted by David Hughson, vice-consul and trade & investment officer for the British Consulate-General Boston.
UK Trade & Investment is excited to be hosting a delegation of UK-based mobile technology companies to Boston as part of Mass Mobile Month. A group of eight innovative companies with diverse technologies across the wireless industry spectrum are looking for business opportunities, exposure, and partnership—and they’re looking to Massachusetts to make it happen.
These eight companies offer exciting products and services—but most of all, they represent the best and brightest of UK technology. With platforms for everything from mobile healthcare to mobile banking, advertising to social media, these companies are well positioned to take the mobile market in the US by storm.
