In New Brunswick, as in the rest of Canada, there is great opportunity in mobile computing. Venture capitalist Mary Meeker, in her annual report on Internet trends in May 2012 stated Internet growth remains robust and mobile adoption is still in its early stages. The world's 1.1 billion mobile 3G subscribers are only 18 per cent of the potential market, but it is growing rapidly at a rate of 37 per cent year over year. This growth presents tremendous opportunities for innovation and economic development for the foreseeable future. New Brunswick has built a significant information and communications technology sector (relative to its size), dominated by highly innovative and independently-owned companies that have become industry leaders in their respective domains, such as Radian6, Spielo International, Mariner Partners and J. D. Irving Limited. The New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) will support this growth in mobile computing with its Mobile First initiative, including the creation of an Industrial Research Chair in Mobile First Technology. Within this emerging mobile computing sector lies two challenges that need to be resolved. First, innovators need help negotiating the 'walled gardens' of the major mobile computing platforms (e.g., Blackberry 10, iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 8), which require companies to negotiate multiple software and security standards to bring solutions to market. Second, is the challenge to create an effective ecosystem of innovation that is supportive of the broad range of potential innovators of mobile technologies, from New Brunswick's traditional small start-ups to established corporations, all of which want to reach the largest audience possible by deploying apps across these different platforms. NBCC's chair nominee, Dr. William McIver, is a computer scientist and most recently was the senior research officer of the National Research Chair's emerging technologies division. As the head of the Mobile First

与加拿大其他地区一样，新不伦瑞克省的移动计算领域存在巨大的机遇。风险投资家 Mary Meeker 在 2012 年 5 月的互联网趋势年度报告中表示，互联网增长依然强劲，而移动应用仍处于早期阶段。全球11亿移动3G用户仅占潜在市场的18%，但正在以每年37%的速度快速增长。这种增长为可预见的未来创新和经济发展提供了巨大的机遇。新不伦瑞克省已经建立了重要的信息和通信技术行业（相对于其规模），以高度创新和独立拥有的公司为主导，这些公司已成为各自领域的行业领导者，例如 Radian6、Spielo International、Mariner Partners 和 J. D. Irving Limited 。新不伦瑞克社区学院 (NBCC) 将通过其移动优先计划支持移动计算的发展，其中包括设立移动优先技术工业研究主席。在这个新兴的移动计算领域存在两个需要解决的挑战。首先，创新者需要帮助来协商主要移动计算平台（例如 Blackberry 10、iOS、Android 和 Windows Phone 8）的“围墙花园”，这要求公司协商多种软件和安全标准，以将解决方案推向市场。其次，挑战在于创建一个有效的创新生态系统，以支持广泛的潜在移动技术创新者，从新不伦瑞克省的传统小型初创企业到老牌企业，所有这些都希望通过部署来吸引尽可能多的受众。跨这些不同平台的应用程序。 NBCC 主席提名人 William McIver 博士是一位计算机科学家，最近担任国家研究主席新兴技术部门的高级研究官。作为移动优先的负责人
