Our strategic intent is to build great mobile products.
Our job is to enable billions of people everywhere to get more of life’s opportunities through mobile.”

Nokia Strategy

Nokia’s strategy is about investing in and ensuring Nokia’s future. “I have incredible optimism because I can see fresh opportunity for us to innovate, to differentiate, to build great mobile products, like never before, and at a speed that will surpass what we have accomplished in the past,” Elop said. “We are going forward. We are not going backwards. We have a strategy. We have a path. We have a future. And we can deliver great mobile products. And despite all of these changes, we remain true to our mission, that of Connecting People.”

Regaining our leadership in the smartphone space

Nokia plans to form a broad strategic partnership with Microsoft to jointly build a global ecosystem that creates opportunities beyond anything that currently exists. It brings together highly complementary assets and competences. The Nokia-Microsoft ecosystem targets to deliver differentiated and innovative products with unrivalled scale in product breadth, geographical reach, and brand identity.

Nokia would adopt Windows Phone as its primary smartphone platform, helping drive and define the future of the platform by leveraging its expertise on hardware optimization, software customization, and language support. Nokia and Microsoft would also combine services assets to drive innovation. Nokia Maps, for example, would be at the heart of key Microsoft assets such as Bing and AdCenter, and Nokia’s application and content store would be integrated into Microsoft Marketplace. Under the proposed partnership, Microsoft would provide developer tools, making it easier for application developers to leverage Nokia’s global scale.

While Nokia transitions to the Windows Phone platform, Symbian will continue to offer considerable value to Nokia, to our customers, developers and consumers. 200 million people use Symbian globally, and Nokia will modernize the platform through investments in completely new devices with new features, hardware improvements such as GHz+ processing capabilities and significantly increased graphics speed, as well as software improvements.
