Research at Nokia

Nokia's continuous high investment in R&D is one of our key success factors. As of April 1, 2007, we had R&D centers in 11 countries and employed 14,500 people in research and development, representing approximately 32% of Nokia’s total workforce. R&D expenses totaled EUR 3,9 billion in 2006, representing 9,5% of Nokia’s net sales in 2006, compared to 11.2% of net sales in 2005 and 12.9% of net sales in 2004.
  • Short and medium term.
    Nokia researchers support the product development units to master key technologies and their evolution. This enables us to develop competitive products efficiently.

  • Long-term.
    Research aims to disrupt the present. Research in different sciences with global participation is a prerequisite for creating these disruptions. Research also serves as an organizational pioneer. By challenging the present working methods and technologies we keep the organization moving. Our researchers are also encouraged to bring forth ideas for new business development.
