Inspiring words for the UK's brightest mobile companies from the GM and co-founder of Playfish.
ME's Top 50 Mobile Innovators project, sponsored by BlueVia, aims to celebrate the creativity and dynamism of UK firms active in the mobile content space – across social media, gaming, payments, gambling, adult, LBS, video, music and more.
The submissions have already been debated by a jury of experts, and final 50 will be listed in August on the ME site.
There will be a reception for the finalists on September 5th at the 24 London bar.
And it's at this event that Segerstrale will share some of the insights and lessons he learned in building the social gaming start-up Playfish from launch to acquisition by EA for $275m in just over two years.
Segerstrale has genuinely pioneered the social gaming phenomenon and currently leads EA's social gaming efforts in his position as head of Playfish.

He said: "I'm really passionate about the digital space, and about the entrepreneurial spirit in general. The ME Top 50 is a great initiative, so I'm delighted to participate. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the great ideas coming out of the UK mobile scene."
The Top 50 Mobile Innovators project is also supported by recruitment firm IMR Executive and law firm RPC.
