Nokia is a Finnish multinational telecommunication, information technology, and consumer electronics company, founded in 1865. Nokia’s headquarters are in Espoo, in the greater Helsinki metropolitan area.
In 2018, the Finnish company employed approximately 103,000 people across over 100 countries, did business in more than 130 countries. In 2016, it was the world’s 415th largest company after being at the 85th place in 2009.
The company started in 1865 as a paper company. Later on, it was associated with rubber and cables until the 1990s when the focus shifted towards telecommunications infrastructures and technology development.
Nokia is one of the biggest contributors to the mobile industry and was once the largest worldwide company of mobile phones and smartphones.
The company was one of the first mobile manufacturers to produce a phone with a built-in camera.
In 1998, Nokia co-founded Symbian Ltd. in order to create a new operating system for smartphones. Symbian later created Symbian 60 which was the OS that operated most of Nokia’s smartphones.
The Finnish company managed to surpass its competitors Motorola and Ericsson by appealing to the youth market with colorful fashionable mobile phone designs.
In 2014, Nokia sold its mobile phone business to Microsoft which created Microsoft Mobile. After that, the company focused mainly on its telecommunications infrastructure business and on Internet of Things technologies.
The company got back into the smartphone business by releasing the Nokia X smartphone that runs Android OS. Now, the Finnish tech giant is competing with other smartphone companies with high-quality smartphones.
As of 2018, Nokia is the world’s third-largest network equipment manufacturer.
