Launched in 2013 in the Middle East, Global Mobile Challenge is a mobile solutions competition that involves more than over 20,000 young professionals and university students from around the world. It covers over 60 countries and holds six regional finals — in Europe, the Middle East, Eurasia, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

To join the competition, participants must create a mobile app or a game that can be used on Android and is available for download on Google Play Store.

The semi-final round will be held in 10 Asia-Pacific countries. Contestants will have a pitching session in front of the board of judges, who will select Asia-Pacific regional final contestants. The regional final will be held in Singapore in January. In February, finalists will go to Barcelona for the Global Mobile Challenge grand final.
