Microsoft and Nokia will each invest up to 9 million
euros into a newly established mobile application
development program at Aalto University during the next
three years.
The AppCampus program has been set up to foster the
creation of mobile applications for the Windows Phone
ecosystem, and in addition Nokia platforms, including
Symbian and Series 40, to create a new generation of
self-sustaining mobile startups.
Kicking off in May 2012, the Finland-based program will
be led and managed by Aalto University. AppCampus is
intended to attract application proposals from students
and entrepreneurs from all over the world. Aalto
University will make a contribution to the project by
providing premises, coaching services, and access to both
academic and business networks for budding app
developers.
Within the AppCampus program, mobile entrepreneurs can
benefit from support, training in mobile technology,
design and usability, and funding to create new mobile
apps and services. Windows Phone Marketplace and Nokia
Store offer local and global business opportunities to
program participants via distribution to consumers around
the world.
Mobile entrepreneurs can apply for grants within the
AppCampus program beginning in May 2012. More information
can be found at http://appcampus.aalto.fi. |
