Nokia continues to streamline its R&D operations
Espoo, Finland - Nokia plans to align its research and development (R&D) operations in Finland and Denmark to be in line with the companys focused portfolio of future products. The planned changes are expected to affect up to 230 employees at Nokias Oulu site in Finland and approximately 100 employees at Nokias Copenhagen site. The total number would represent approximately 2 % of Nokias R&D personnel globally.
Nokia aims to support the employees with alternative solutions, such as finding new positions within the company for as many employees as possible. Nokia will begin consultations with employee representatives about these plans where voluntary severance packages among other topics will be discussed.
Nokia maintains a strong R&D presence in both sites; the company has over 2 000 employees in Oulu and over 1 000 employees in Copenhagen. Overall, Nokia has more than 17 000 people employed in its research and development activities.

Nokia reduces R&D operations in Japan
Tokyo, Japan - As part of its global efforts to align its research and development (R&D) operations to be in line with its focused portfolio of future products, Nokia will be reducing its R&D activities in Japan. As previously announced last week, Nokia plans to reduce some of its R&D activities in Finland and Denmark.
Todays announcement will impact approximately 220 employees in Japan. The total number would represent slightly more than 1% of Nokias R&D personnel globally.
Nokia will continue its significant sourcing activities in Japan. Japanese manufacturers are important partners who play a critical role in Nokias global supply-chain strategy and with whom Nokia continues to develop its world-class logistics operations.
The Japanese operation of Nokia Siemens Networks, Nokias network infrastructure business, is not affected by this announcement and continues uninterrupted.
Vertu, Nokias exclusive line of handcrafted mobile phones for the luxury market, will also continue operations in Japan unaffected by todays announcement.
