Nokia: From Paper Mill to Mobile Giant – The Untold Story of Evolution

Nokia's Incredible Journey of Constant Reinvention

Success is not about sticking to one path, it's about knowing when to pivot and evolve with the world around you, just as Nokia did time and time again.

When we think of Nokia, most of us immediately picture the iconic 3310 mobile phone, possibly the only thing on Earth more indestructible than a cockroach. The one with the eternal battery and the beloved Snake game that had us all squinting at monochrome screens like our lives depended on it. But here’s the shocker, Nokia didn’t start out by making phones that could survive a nuclear blast. It didn’t even start in technology at all. Nokia began with something far more… down-to-earth, paper.
