Nokia Commits $4B to U.S. AI Infrastructure Push
Finnish telecom giant Nokia will invest $4 billion in U.S. manufacturing and R&D to accelerate AI-ready networking technologies. The multiyear commitment expands Nokia's existing $2.3 billion U.S. footprint from its Infinera acquisition earlier this year.
Half a billion dollars targets Texas, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania facilities - states housing Nokia Bell Labs, where foundational technologies like the transistor were invented. The TRUMP administration collaboration underscores geopolitical alignment on domestic AI infrastructure development.
