Space and Defense Marketing Leader

Nokia approaches the defense sector with the same principles that have guided us for over 150 years: transparency, compliance, and integrity. We operate with a clear understanding of our responsibilities and make deliberate choices about who we work with and where.


Our role in defense isn’t to build weapons. We develop secure communication solutions that help ensure the right people get the right information at the right time. We focus on enabling trusted defense forces to operate effectively, efficiently, and responsibly.


We only conduct business with NATO and allied nations. There is a strict list of countries and entities we will not sell to, speak with or support in any way. Our partners are vetted to ensure their values and conduct are aligned with ours. If an event takes place in a country that falls outside our approved target list, we do not participate. That applies to our presence, our people and our products. Because how we show up in defense is just as important as what we deliver.
