Just got out of the first keynote address today, with OPK, CEO of Nokia. It was a very dynamic presentation with overall theme that Nokia believes that you can do good business and do good at the very same time. OPK shared stage with (in his words) “Nokia’s Indiana Jones” – who leads global efforts to uncover consumer insights in the developing world – as well as with a travel journalist from Lonely Planet. Videos of the presentation coming shortly!
The big news – OPK announced a venture challenge whose prize is a $1million investment for the single innovator who can propose a mobile application or service that will make a substantial difference in lives of people who make less then $5 per day. Find out more at http://CallingAllInnovators.com
