Relive the moments
For 30+ years, Nokia’s CUG has been the home of deep technical exchange and collaboration – a tradition that began in our Espoo headquarters and grew into a global community.
In fact, interest grew so much that our beloved Espoo venue could no longer hold us. In 2025, we took CUG on the road to Lisbon for our largest event yet.
Now, we’re heading to Munich for CUG 2026, ready to take the conversation further.
