The shovel in the ground for Nokia's new innovation campus in Ottawa

Nokia has begun construction of a new innovation campus in Ottawa, which will strengthen Canada's position as a global leader in next-generation networks and advanced communication technology. The campus, located in Kanata North Tech Park, will be used for research and development in AI-driven networks, quantum-safe infrastructure, data center networks, and 6G technology. Spanning nearly 70,000 square meters, the campus will serve as both an R&D center and a platform for future innovation, accelerating progress in AI, quantum technology, and sustainable digital transformation. This expansion reinforces Nokia's longstanding R&D presence in Ottawa, where over 1,900 specialists are employed. Supported by the Canadian government, the Ontario government, and the city of Ottawa, the project will also involve collaborations with universities and tech companies like Nvidia
