Quotes Andrus Ansip European Commissioner Digital Single Market We are very excited to see the Graphene Flagship back at Mobile World Congress with an even more ambitious exhibit. Mobile World Congress offers attendees the opportunity to experience the latest in cutting-edge technology, products and services, and the Graphene Experience Zone will be among the can t miss destinations at this year s show. Graphene can make miracles. I m impressed. We can see how it is possible to charge mobile phones within seconds, for example, and it s all because of graphene. I m happy that politicians decided to invest quite remarkable amounts of money in the Flagship programmes. I m happy with the results we have already and I m looking forward very optimistically.
