Nokia Core User Group 2026
Thank you for helping make CUG-2026 a success!
What is Nokia’s Core User Group?
It’s where we gather to challenge, exchange, and explore what’s next for Core Networks.
In 2026, we take that spirit to Munich.
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.
This year, we took CUG to Munich, Germany to host a record-breaking number of customers! Thank you for an outstanding event. We look forward to seeing you on the road next year.
