The proposed cuts affect about 3.7% of Nokia’s Finnish workforce as the company shifts spending toward defense, artificial intelligence and data centers.

  • On Wednesday, Nokia announced plans to cut up to 253 positions in Finland as the network equipment maker shifts investment toward defense, artificial intelligence, and data centres.
  • These reductions are part of a cost-saving program Nokia launched in 2023, targeting expense reductions between €800 million and €1.2 billion by the end of this year.
  • The cuts affect operations in Espoo, Tampere, and Oulu, representing about 3.7% of the company's approximately 6,800 employees in Finland.
  • Negotiations with employee representatives are due to begin on Monday, October 12, following confirmation to Yle that the change negotiation process has started.
  • Employee representative Jari Nummikoski noted that these negotiations were expected, as the company previously reduced its headcount in Finland earlier this year.
