Jolla Mobile is setting up a new ecosystem by forming an alliance in Hong Kong together with the leading players in the industry. The new fully mobile operating system, based on MeeGo and codenamed "Sailfish", will be ready for licensing by other device manufacturers, design houses and service companies in spring 2013.

Sailfish builds on and contributes to existing open source projects such as the Qt Project and Mer Core, and due to those roots the new OS will be open to community involvement and participation.

An estimated 200 million euros will be invested in the project and it will be hosted in Cyberport Hong Kong, with Internet backbones going to China, Europe and the US. The data centre is being established to host Sailfish’s infrastructure, data, productisation facilities and  collaboration services. In addition, some of the upcoming ecosystem's cloud services will be provided from there.
