Connecting Canada to the World
With 2,300+ employees, including 2,000+ R&D specialists in Ottawa, we're Canada's largest tech employer in Kanata North. Canada isn't a regional office. It's our innovation engine. Our teams are pioneering core routing, high-speed optics, quantum-safe networks, AI, and 6G research that connects Canadian businesses, communities, and institutions across borders and powers global networks.
Building on 50+ years of Canadian innovation, from Newbridge Networks to Alcatel-Lucent to Nokia's 2016 expansion, we're investing in a new state-of-the-art campus, creating high-skilled jobs and strengthening Canada's role in global connectivity.

Life at Nokia Canada
Brand launch
Nokia Canada celebrated our new brand across the campus which was kicked off with enchanting Indigenous performances, an update on the future of our new campus and celebrating Nokia’s involvement in the community. With 532 students joining us in 2023, as well as StrongHer, DARE & EQUAL! events in our community, Nokia’s future is bright.
Volunteering at Algonquin College
As part of the Dare6 initiative, a group of employees from Ottawa recently volunteered at Algonquin College, dedicating their time to landscaping, painting, and weeding. The experience was both meaningful and impactful, providing an opportunity to learn about Indigenous culture while giving back to the community.
