Mobikyo publishes the Wireless Watch Japan media project, organizes MobileMonday Tokyo networking events, operates Mobile Intelligence study tours providing related custom research and consulting services.
Mobikyo's founding directors are deeply connected with, respected by, and committed to, Japan's wireless and IT business community. Thousands of managers, planners, engineers and strategists depend on Mobikyo to learn about Japan's unique mobile business models, technologies, contents, services, applications and hardware.
"Mobikyo" was chosen for the unique blending of Mobile and Tokyo. However, depending on the kanji character used for kyo, it could also mean association, capital, religion or today. With fantastic support from our clients, partners and affiliates in Japan and overseas, we have become the trusted source of independent mobile market intelligence and wireless business networking connections based in Tokyo.
MobileMonday Tokyo is the leading networking organization supporting Tokyo's mobile industry. Launched in Japan in September 2004, our events routinely attract 100-200 wireless industry participants. We have featured showcase presentations from major companies including; Adobe, Google, HP, HTC, KDDI, MTV, Microsoft, NEC, Mozilla, Opera, RIM, Sony, W3C and Warner Music and dozens of interesting SME's.
MobileMonday is an open community of mobile industry visionaries, developers and industry insiders fostering cooperation and business development through live networking events to share ideas, best practices and trends from global markets. Chapters are now active in over 65 cities worldwide and new locations continue to launch monthly.
Originating in Helsinki, Finland, in 2000, MobileMonday events are organized by a international team of over 200 volunteers and it has become one of the world's largest mobile community networks.
Since launch in 2001, Wireless Watch Japan has become one of the most popular and trusted voices dedicated to covering Japan's mobile industry, in English, for an international audience. Each day, thousands of visitors depend on WWJ to learn about Japan's innovative mobile services, technologies, content and business models.
WWJ provides in-depth coverage via daily news reports, analytical articles and streaming video programs. Our core audience includes managers, executives, analysts, business planners, engineers, marketers, product developers and researchers from Fortune 500 companies worldwide. This international community understands that developments in Japan will affect the wireless industry everywhere.
We are dedicated to providing the best independent news, analysis and commentary to help cut through the misinformation and hype that often surrounds Japan's mobile Internet.
The Wireless-Watch Community is a dynamically updated web portal aggregating high-caliber news and commentary from mobile experts, industry watchers and publishers worldwide. Our W-W.Com platform enables established and respected thought leaders to contribute their analysis and insight to a multi-market channel that is on track to become the Web's most comprehensive resource of independent wireless related information.
W-W.Com is a unique platform that automatically aggregates news, articles, reports, blog posts and other Web content from community members into a 'portal of posts.' Once a Web publisher becomes an authorized contributor, the W-W.com engine will routinely pull their latest site update, extract keywords, assign section tags and organize the cached articles into a dedicated sub-domain system, pushing the very latest stories to the W-W.Com top page.
Mobile Intelligence provides custom research and consulting designed specifically for industry executives working in sales, marketing, product development, business strategy, venture capital and the media. From private workshops and conference presentations to trend spotting innovations and independent analysis, our services are based on the direct experience and lessons learned in the Japanese mobile market.
We also offer a unique in-Japan guided tour service providing market introductions, personal connections and actionable lessons for clients overseas. Delegates take part in seminar and attend inside sessions, at individual companies, in technology showrooms, and -- most importantly -- on the fabled streets of Tokyo. Alumni return home with a competitive edge, integrated awareness and personal contacts moving them to the forefront of new business development.
Because it's not just "what" you know - OR - "who" you know.. it's both!
