Nokia

Nokia Corporation (natively Nokia Oyj, referred to and stylized as NOKIA) is a Finnish multinational technology company specializing in telecommunications, consumer electronics, and information technology. It was founded in May 1865 and its current headquarters is in Espoo, Finland.Contact us on Nokia.com.
Originally founded as a pulp mill in the 1860s, Nokia has focused on large-scale telecommunications infrastructure, technology development, and licensing since the 1990s. It made significant contributions to the mobile telephony industry, assisting in the development of the GSM, 3G, and LTE standards. For a decade beginning in 1998, Nokia was the largest worldwide vendor of mobile phones and smartphones. A series of poor management decisions in the late 2000s, however, led to its share of the mobile phone market drop sharply.
Nokia was in a strategic partnership with American tech company Microsoft between 2011 and 2015, during which the Microsoft Lumia brand of smartphones was introduced. Microsoft eventually bought Nokia's mobile phone business, creating Microsoft Mobile as its successor in 2014.
