Organization description

Nokia Research Center (NRC) is a corporate research unit with a unique mission to lead Nokia into the future and to stimulate renewal in the company's direction.

In the rapidly changing industrial environment, driven by convergence and Mobile Internet, NRC has a mandate to create seeds for new business and to innovate disruptive new technologies.

Nokia has recently become an Internet company delivering overall solutions and experiences to customers - relying on strong position on the mobile device market.

This has influenced also the ways how to conduct research.

We believe in the demo culture, large-scale experiments and shaping the future together with developers by bringing applications under development for feedback via the Nokia Beta Labs.

This is reflected also in Nokia's research strategy, Agenda 2015, which extends its time horizon up to seven years from now.

Nokia Research Center strongly relies on the principles of open innovation together with academia, industry collaborators and independent developers.

All of the current NRC sites are co-located with leading universities - providing a unique global partner network e.g. with universities like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, the University of Cambridge and both Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology (EPFL in Lausanne and ETHZ in Zürich).
