Dallas, Texas – Nokia, in collaboration with the Trump administration, announced today plans to expand its U.S. R&D and manufacturing capabilities, investing $4 billion to accelerate innovation in AI-ready mobile, fixed access, IP, optical, and data center networking technologies. The planned investment over multiple years is in addition to Nokia’s $2.3 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, R&D, and AI connectivity through its purchase of Infinera. Additionally, Infinera had previously announced a $456 million investment for two U.S. manufacturing facilities, which received CHIPS Act incentives.

Nokia expects to invest around $3.5 billion in U.S. R&D, reflecting the company’s strong commitment to advancing the next generation of connectivity and AI technology across all facets of the network, including mobile, fixed, IP, optical, data center networking technologies, and mission-critical/defense solutions. Nokia is committed to continuing the creation of groundbreaking technologies in the U.S., following in the footsteps of its award-winning Nokia Bell Labs headquartered in New Jersey. For over a century, the scientists and engineers at Nokia Bell Labs have pioneered technological innovations from the invention of the transistor to advancements in digital communications and now AI.

About $500 million in U.S. capital expenditures will be invested in manufacturing and research and development in U.S. states that include Texas, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

The U.S. investment plan will strengthen Nokia’s comprehensive suite of AI-optimized networking solutions, as well as its industry-leading R&D in advanced networking technologies, including automation, quantum-safe networks, semiconductor manufacturing, testing, and packaging, and state-of-the-art material sciences.
