Nokia to Open Skolkovo Research Center

Finnish communications company, Nokia, committed on Wednesday to open a research facility at the Skolkovo high-tech innovation center being set up outside of Moscow.   Victor Saeijs, CEO of Nokia Eurasia, said Russia will now join Europe, India and China as key sites of Nokia intellectual activity, and Russia will be the eighth country where the company has such a center.  The Nokia Center at Skolkovo will work in cooperation with leading Russian universities, and will employ about 25 technical specialists who will conduct research in fields such as mobile computing, nanotechnology, and quantum technology.  Although Nokia representatives declined to specify the exact amount of Nokia's investment in the Skolkovo center, total investment is expected to be in the range of "double-digit millions of dollars."
