Nokia is one of only three companies globally capable of delivering end-to-end 5G network infrastructure, alongside Ericsson and Huawei, making it indispensable to Europe's telecommunications sovereignty. Through Nokia Bell Labs, the company holds one of the world's most valuable technology patent portfolios and is a lead contributor to 6G standards development. Nokia's role in building secure, non-Chinese network infrastructure for critical communications across Europe and allied nations makes it a strategic asset of the highest order.
