The Mobile Premier Awards in Barcelona are looking good

The Mobile Premier Awards have announced their full programme, happily occuring at the same time as the Mobile World Congress talkfest in Barcelona. About 30,000 mobile experts will be in the city so it’s great timing. TechCrunch Europe is a media partner with the Awards and I’ll be on the jury this year judging the startups.

Besides the classic MPA in Innovation live 3-minute pitches, this year also features the winners of previous awards.

There’ll also be a special keynote from arguably the most successful startup in mobile history, Russell Buckley of Admob, which was recently aqcuired by Google for $750m.

The jury will choose the winners among the 20 finalists which are listed below. Good luck to all of them:
