Today we want to talk about a Finnish tech company that will take you back to the days without smartphones and tablets. 

You might have guessed it already - yes - we are talking about Nokia. 

Founded in 1865, Nokia is a B2B technology innovation leader in networking, bringing together the world’s people, machines and devices to realise the potential of digital in every industry. 

It was also once a legendary phone maker, having commanded an over 40 per cent global market share in mobile phones at its peak. That is before smartphone makers Apple and Samsung came into picture in the late 2000s and early 2010s. 

To make a long story short, the company eventually sold its handset and services business to Microsoft in 2013. What does this mean for Nokia in terms of its priorities then? 

And as the company prepares itself for further technological disruption, its CEO Pekka Lundmark predicts smartphones would become extinct by 2030 with the invent of 6G. Why is this the case, and how does this influence the way the company positions itself for the future?  

On Under the Radar, Drive Time’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian sat down with Daniel Jaeger, Head of Southeast Asia, Nokia to find out all about Nokia’s plans ahead.
