ThirdRunnerUp2009_logoWe’re very excited about the near launch of our mobile coupon platform YOOSE in Germany. On Monday, June 17, 2009, we already started a campaign with DeliFrance in Singapore. This gave us the opportunity to show some first real cases of mobile coupon campaigns at the Navteq LBS Challenge this week in Singapore. Teaming up with Fox Mobile, we had the opportunity to present our service to the jury of one of the most important contests in the mobile industry. “First launched in 2003, the NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge is focused on driving the development and visibility of innovative navigation solutions for wireless devices. The Challenge has become the premier event in the LBS industry and a global symbol of LBS innovation and opportunity.” We’re very proud to say that we have been announced 3rd runner up in this exciting competition. Also, the feedback we received both from the jury as well as observers and other participants of this contest was very vital for the further advancement of our product. Coming back to Berlin with these experiences in our luggage, we’re more than thrilled to observe the very near launch of our service in Germany.
