3 A connector event With almost every industry being disrupted by nimble startups many driven by mobile thinking 4YFN should be a must for any visitor wanting to see what the future might hold. The Guardian 4 Years From Now has become a magnet for those who want to know who will play an important role in the mobile industry in four years. Frankfurter Germany I loved the energy. I look forward to YFN and meeting even more startups from all over the world. Edith Yeung, Partner at 500 Mobile Collective I met some interesting companies at 4YFN, so I thought my time spent there was worthwhile. I did find 4YFN interesting as a complement to MWC as MWC is so big and hard to find and/or meet interesting startups.

32 Media Coverage The Guardian (UK) With almost every industry being disrupted by nimble startups many driven by mobile thinking 4YFN should be a must for any visitor wanting to see what the future might hold. Frankfurter Allgemeine (Germany) 4 Years From Now has become a magnet for those who want to know who will play an important role in the mobile industry in four years. The Next Web Most of the startup activity this year took place at twin event 4Years From Now, which grew considerably since its first edition last year, both in terms of size and of number of visitors. Techcrunch As part of that jacket-and-jeans sartorial growth, the startup community has become increasingly engaged, culminating this year with 4YFN. La Tribune (France) Top Israeli investor Yossi Vardi and 4YFN Director Aleix Valls lead the more unknown and, maybe, the most interesting side of Mobile World Congress Barcelona.
