Chapter 1 Welcome & Introduction: Nokia Vision and Commitment
Nokia Welcome
from CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo
There are more than six billion of us on this planet. We are all differ-
ent and we value many different things in life. To some people, what
matters is staying in touch and sharing experiences; others want to
provide for their families and get ahead in their careers; some just
want to have fun and live for the moment. More often than not, what
matters to you is a unique combination of all of these.
At Nokia we increasingly see mobile communications helping every-
one connect to the things that matter most in their lives. And be-
cause that’s important in itself, that means being connected any time
and in any place.
Connecting people in new and exciting ways means giving everyone
the power to choose when and how to stay in touch with those im-
portant things, so that they can make the most out of every moment.
The majority of the people on this planet already have a mobile de-
vice, but we are entering an age where soon a whole world of smart
services will be a part of each person’s life.
So imagine an entire planet where people, places and information
are seamlessly connected; where communications devices and servic-
es are such an integral and indispensable part of our lives, they really
do become second nature.
This is how we see the world and the role of communications in mak-
ing it happen. On the following pages we hope you’ll get some idea
of how Nokia is making this come to life.
