Quest for the Mobile


Key Take Away• Korea, Full of Interesting / Experimental Ideas & Business Models

― Seek for Investment/Joint Venture Opportunity― Borrow the Concept, Localize to your country

• Web 2.0 is Right. Bet on the ‘User’― Do not enforce your customer, Let them ‘Evolve’― All you need to do is creating the Optimal Environment

• Think Small― Mobile can be a good ‘complementary’ in many ways― Look for the ‘unmet needs’ and connect it to Mobile
