Rewarding UK innovation
There is no cost to enter Smart UK’s search for the UK’s most innovative mobile company.
We have also designed the competition to enable everyone who enters to benefit from submitting an entry.
So, everyone who enters the competition will receive:
- The opportunity to attend a seminar in London, that helps UK mobile companies develop compelling messages, drive media interest and develop relationships with the press
- The chance to have a one-to-one messaging session with UKTI’s media partner for Mobile World Congress
The Shortlist
After the closing date for entries (31st December at midnight GMT), the judges will choose a shortlist of 20 companies that will be invited to attend UKTI’s pre-Mobile World Congress media event, taking place in London in early February 2013. Last year this event was attended by media including the BBC, The Telegraph, Wired, Metro, Mobile News, Mobile Communications International, T3, Stuff, Sky News, as well as a host of other influential titles.
UK companies at the event last year featured in national, trade and consumer media titles as well as on the BBC and Sky. This is your chance to place your innovation in the spotlight to the media and the only way to be at this event is by entering the competition.
