Our Vision

YUZA was created to deliver new approaches to mobile services and apply a different way of thinking; delivering content people really want to consume and applications with which they’ll fall in love.

We believe mobile applications are the future of mobile services. With 20 billion a year being forecast to be downloaded by 2014, some have said mobile applications could be as big as the internet itself.

The word “Yuza” in its western form is one of the Japanese words for “user.” Japan the home of QR codes and Bonsai Trees.
We develop cutting edge mobile applications and whilst we love mobile technology we promise to never to talk in techno-babble. We keep it simple both for you and the 'yuza'.

YUZA combines a boutique approach to business, a broad partner network, an in-depth knowledge of the mobile space, a forward thinking attitude and high quality software engineering. This means we can continue to deliver market-leading products and services.

We were also named as a Top 50 Mobile Innovator by Mobile Entertainment.
