Together with Nokia Bell Labs experts and mentors, you can make a difference and potentially grow your business to new levels.
Whom we are looking for
We are once again looking for the latest innovative companies around the globe to put forward their ideas for the possibility to collaborate with Nokia Bell Labs researchers to enhance or create the first commercial implementation of their product.
Our target is to find a company which could potentially be a partner for Nokia for joint innovative solutions.
