IBM has launched the Watson Mobile Developer Challenge, a global competition to encourage developers to create mobile consumer and business apps powered by Watson. The program, being driven by the newly formed IBM Watson Group, aims to encourage developers to spread cognitive computing apps into the marketplace.

Mike Rhodin (Senior vice president, IBM Watson Group): The power of Watson in the palm of your hand is a game-changing proposition, so we’re calling on mobile developers around the world to start building cognitive computing apps infused with Watson’s intelligence.

IBM announced the challenge at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where the company is demonstrating its mobile and Watson capabilities.
