SPONSORS DEFINITION HERE
We create strategic relationships between mobile companies,
innovative universities, and entrepreneurial students.
WHY ARE SPONSORS IMPORTANT TO US?
The Next Big Mobile Idea
BMIC only exists because of the financial and operational support of corporate sponsors. They have all sponsored for different reasons. Some want to see their alma mater compete on the world stage. Others remember how hard it was to be a young entrepreneur with limited resources. All believe the next big mobile idea will emerge from the minds of university students and they simply want to be a part of it.
More Teams
BMIC is a volunteer organization with very little support staff. Most of our corporate sponsorships go towards sending university teams to the various competitions we hold each year. The more sponsorship funds we gather, the more teams we can send to each competition. We also use funds to syndicate mobile entrepreneurship curricula to universities who need access to it.
The Key to Solving Problem
Our sponsors recognize the need to engage the youngest generation if we are to realize the full promise of mobile technology. Over 75% of the world's population now carry mobile phones--they may be the technical key to solving many of the world's most difficult problems. We invite you to join us as we challenge the world's next generation of innovators to solve the world's problems, one app at a time.

THE BENEFITS OF SPONSORING
Discover the next big app
Most network carriers are country-centric, thus their brands often elicit national pride. However many carriers find it difficult to find fresh new mobile innovation or great app developers within their borders. BMIC provides the perfect platform for carriers to discover the next big app or source new talent to hire. It also provides carriers a program to support engineering education in their home countries. A BMIC sponsorship provides carriers with both short term and long term value.
Promote your platform to the next generation
Handset and tablet manufacturers need to drive the adoption of their platforms. Most have turned to app developers to help them to drive this adoption. Sponsorship of BMIC will allow you to promote your device/OS platform to the next generation of app developers and get access to new applications before they hit the commercial market.
Find young engineers
App Development platforms, developer programs, mobile advertising platforms, and other mobile vendors rely on app developers to adopt and support their API's, standards and technology. The best mobile vendors take a page from Apple and focus on young university engineers. BMIC gives mobile vendors an opportunity to do so with very little capital.
