Announcing Mobile Future Forward: Quantum Leaps

June 09, 2021

Dear Friends,

Trust this note finds you and yours safe and healthy.

We are living through history and times of unprecedented change.

Quantum Leap is a phenomenon that occurs when an orbiting electron in an atom jumps to a higher energy level. Similarly, in the technology world, quantum leaps are created by breakthrough inventions that leaps the global economy into the next ecosystem energy tier like it has happened over the last 250 years with the industrial revolution; steam & railways; electricity and heavy engineering, oil, automobiles & mass production; and information and telecommunications technologies.

Sometimes, we see a step change in creativity because of crises like what happened during the renaissance period or during the world wars. However, it is extremely rare that the global economy heralds into a new decade energized by breakthrough technologies while facing a global crisis. We think it creates a perfect environment for “Quantum Leaps.” We have already seen early glimpses of this transition last year with the acceleration of trends, resetting of the assumptions, and the emergence of the new business models.

With the help of our long-time partners and steadfast community, we are assembling some of the best minds and technologists to help us brainstorm the path forward. Their wisdom of dealing with past crises and inventive spirit to create something new will shape our dialog and roadmap.

Mobile Future Forward continues to set the agenda for the industry and we are eager to dive into “Quantum Leaps” with our amazing speakers and participants who are working on these quantum leaps. Join us to be part of the sojourn.
