Lycamobile, the world’s largest mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), has announced its sponsorship of the London School of Economics’ (LSE) 10th annual Emerging Markets Forum, the world’s biggest emerging markets student conference.

Founded in 2009, the LSE Emerging Markets Forum was created with a vision to foster greater understanding of the role of emerging markets in the wider world. The forum brings together a wide array of top international speakers, including pre-eminent academics, executives, investors and global leaders. It is an opportunity for these world-leading speakers to contribute their voice to the ongoing discussions that are most relevant today, and to reflect on the global macro changes that have taken place since the conference’s founding.

For its 10thanniversary, the Forum will focus on one of the decade’s most important developments in global economic markets: China’s rise to global power. The Forum will explore the country’s political, military, social, and economic developments which continue to redefine post-Cold War global dynamics.

Lycamobile’s sponsorship will contribute to the overall running of the Forum, highlighting the Company’s commitment to facilitating an environment which supports and promotes education and entrepreneurialism on an international scale.

Lyca Group Founder and Chairman Subaskaran Allirajah said: “At Lycamobile, we seek to support communities across the world, by connecting them with their friends and families. Many of our customers either live or have family who live in the world’s emerging market economies. We are proud to sponsor an event which recognises the important contribution of these markets, and promotes their business and educational development on a global level.”

The LSE Emerging Markets Forum will take place on 15 and 16 March and registration is open at http://www.lseemf.com/registration/.
