Research at Nokia

Nokia's continuous high investment in R&D is one of our key success factors. As of December 31, 2008, we had strong R&D presence in 16 countries and employed 39 350 people in research and development, representing approximately 31% of Nokia's total workforce. R&D expenses totaled EUR 5 968 million in 2008, representing 11.8% of Nokia's net sales in 2008, up from 11% of net sales in 2007.
  • 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.
