NL@MWC event: Scaling Impact: Where Sustainability Meets Sovereignty

We like to warmly invite you to join the NL@MWC community event November 19th, hosted by Fairphone in Amsterdam and powered by Ecosystem Services.

Four times per year Ecosystem Services organises a get together in the Netherlands as community interested in themes and topics related to Mobile World Congres (MWC) Barcelona, the largest conference in the world about connectivity and the place to be to meet all the Telecom operators in the world including the whole ecosystem around it.

Each NL event gives insights in the latest available information about future trends, the MWC conference, including exhibiting and network opportunities and other relevant updates from the Dutch Program and Pavilion plus the startup area at 4YFN. The NL events also provides an invaluable opportunity to learn about the innovativeness and experience within the community and to get to know the other inspiring people, speakers and companies interested in what MWC is all about.

The 19th of November we will dive into the world of sustainability in relation to souvereignity and the opportunities for NL and EU to scale impact together.
