Building mobile apps has never been easier. So why do so few actually win?

In his new book Pocket Winners, Ivo Weevers reveals what separates the apps that get downloaded… from the ones that become indispensable.

The answer isn’t better tools, bigger budgets, or even more talent. It’s how teams think.

Drawing on 20 years of building high-growth mobile products used by millions, Ivo introduces the Mobile Mindset — a set of practical behaviours across five levels: from seeing differently, to proving value fast, to obsessing over the funnel, to navigating organisations never built for mobile.

Together with Net Value, we’re excited to host the official book launch for the tech community in Cagliari.

What to expect:

📌 A 45 minute talk on what actually makes apps win in today’s AI era

📌 Real examples from products you know (and some you don’t)

📌A practical lens you can apply immediately

📌 Followed by time for Q&A and connecting with fellow attendees
