The Mobile Ecosystem Forum (MEF) has announced that Google has joined its member community. This collaboration will expand opportunities for all members to engage on the topic of RCS (rich communication services). RCS is part of the future of business communications. By being part of MEF, members can more easily communicate with, and receive feedback from, stakeholders across the mobile ecosystem about the role and development of RCS.

MEF is already considered to be the ‘go to’ organisation for messaging. Its membership base includes a large number of companies within the messaging space. In addition, MEF has strong relationships with relevant government agencies.
MEF membership provides the opportunity to meet and network with fellow members and develop a broad range of relationships with these companies. This means that the MEF member community can more easily explore opportunities to refine go-to-market plans. They can also develop use cases, and support public consultations with regulators on industry-serving topics.
MEF offers strategic insights
MEF membership also provides strategic insights, market and new sector facilitation, knowledge transfer, and advocacy. It offers a full calendar of events, which provide an innovation showcase, and an educational platform for members. MEF opens opportunities for business partnering across the mobile ecosystem – locally and globally. In addition, it brings access to global market analytics and resources, the opportunity to shape the industry through collaboration and advocacy, and extra visibility through MEF communication channels and speaking opportunities.
By joining MEF, Google brings its expertise to the wider MEF community. This relationship builds on an existing collaboration with MEF members. It attended RCS World 2022 in Dublin at Google Foundry, RCS World 2023 in Google’s HQ in Paris and RCS World 2024, most recently, in Sao Paolo.
Google’s membership of MEF aligns with our commitment to expand the community focusing on innovation and excellence in messaging. We are delighted to welcome Google to the MEF family,” says Dario Betti, CEO of MEF.
