Research
At Nokia, we're constantly thinking about the future. We spend our days envisioning a world that few can imagine but that we know is just over the horizon. We have developed a vision of how the physical world will fuse with the digital world in the future through mobile technologies.
It's a look at how people will be connecting not only with one another, but also with every place and thing in the world, as well as the novel ways in which they will use these connections to enhance their lives.
The research being conducted at Nokia Research Center focuses on the experiences people will have in the future, the technology and interfaces they will use, and the infrastructure required to make it happen.
As leaders in open innovation, our teams - co-located with leading universities around the world - are collaborating with a network of leading institutions to research these four focus areas and define the emerging age of mobility.
