past couple of years, we have launched a number of new GSM-models specially
designed for seniors,” says the President and CEO of Doro, Jérôme Arnaud. “Our
membership of the GSM Association gives us a seat among other leading producers
of mobile phones. It corresponds to our newly established position among
this industry.”
In December, Doro has also joined the recently launched organization Mobile
Alley alongside other senior players in the European mobile telecom sector. The
organization's central objectives include encouraging innovation in the
European mobile telecom sector and fostering the next generation of mobile
entrepreneurs through collaboration between established actors and emerging
companies.

ethics and dynamic vision of the European mobile sector while also gaining
