The Nokia Corporate Business Development has the responsibility to manage Nokia’s Strategic Growth Areas. Unit looks for breakthrough ideas that are ‘industry shakers’ - innovative business concepts and technologies - that integrate with and expand beyond Nokia core business. Our strategic growth areas are Commerce, Financial, Entertainment and they are identified to provide the best potential for long-term growth.

By coordinating business development activities with other Nokia business units we aim to connect people with new services that are meaningful to them and offer greater benefits by enabling more transactions on the device. We focus on generating new revenue streams for Nokia and our partners. The new services stem from the local needs of consumers and local expertise, yet also benefit from global economies of scale.

Having validated new opportunities with sound business cases, we further develop them as new business programs within Nokia or collaborate with companies to establish licensing deals, joint ventures, acquisitions, or partnership agreements. Funding is not our specialty but if you are interested in Nokia's Venture Capital Fund, please visit Nokia Growth Partners at www.nokiagrowthpartners.com.
