Join us on September 24 at High Tech Campus Eindhoven for the next NL@MWC community event, powered by Ecosystem Services and High Tech NL.

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 24th of September we will dive into the world of Semiconductors, the chip builders of The Netherlands and the immense possibilities and opportunities connected to this topic in relation to connectivity.

So don’t miss out and register to join this event!
