1315 Innovation via Mobile Communication. Presentation by Director of Business Development, Jeppe M. Hansen, Creuna, www.creuna.com

The Mobile Channel is undergoing the same development as the internet did in the late 90ies. And the expectation is that the mobile channel will become more important to the users than the internet. Many companies have a “wait-and-see”-strategy for the mobile channel. But that might be dangerous. This presentation will show you all the already existing opportunities in mobile communication.
