Smama expands into French-speaking Switzerland
Smama, the Swiss Mobile Association, has expanded its membership base this year. As a result, the association plans to establish a Romandie chapter in 2013.
Smama gained 14 new members in the first quarter: Amag, Ansich, Auto-Outlet, Biztelligence, Canon, Comparis, eResearch, Finnova, Focusonmobile, Leaseplan, Mobile Consulting, Prospective Media Services, Touchmobile and Webgearing. Founded just over a year ago, Smama now represents over 62 companies from all sectors that are actively involved in mobile business. According to a Smama press release, the company intends to continue growing. It is therefore planning to set up a Romandie section in the second half of the year.
The association is already cooperating with Swiss universities and universities of applied sciences and their mobile-oriented institutes: ETH Zurich, University of St. Gallen, HWZ Zurich, HEVS Sierre. There is also close cooperation with foreign organizations such as the E-Commerce Center Handel in Germany.
