This move is part of Nokia’s long-standing commitment to innovation and market leadership in fixed, mobile, and cloud network solutions. With a history of over 100 years, the company has consistently leveraged its intellectual property and research and development under the renowned Nokia Bell Labs.

The buyback program reflects Nokia’s confidence in its business strategy and commitment to delivering value to its shareholders. The company continues to focus on integrating its network solutions into diverse ecosystems, enabling commercialization and scalability.

Investors and partners globally rely on Nokia for high-performance, responsible, and secure networking standards. The company collaborates with partners worldwide to develop digital services and applications for the future.
