#NOKIA: The Rise and Fall of a $100 Billion Empire #nokia #tech

Nokia once ruled the mobile phone industry. At its peak, the Finnish company controlled around 40% of the global mobile phone market, sold hundreds of millions of phones every year, and reached a market value of more than €100 billion. But Nokia wasn't always a technology company. It began in 1865 as a small paper mill in Finland. Over the next century, it transformed from paper to rubber, cables, electronics, telecommunications—and eventually became the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer. Then came the smartphone revolution. Apple introduced the iPhone. Google introduced Android. And Nokia suddenly found itself fighting a completely different war. Despite having brilliant engineers, a powerful brand, global distribution, and years of mobile experience, Nokia struggled to adapt. This is the story of how Nokia went from a Finnish paper mill to one of the most powerful technology companies in the world—and how it lost its position in the smartphone revolution.
