Nokia Receives Taiwan Local Leader for the First Time, Discussing 5G Network Development with Hou Yu-ih

New Taipei City Mayor Hou Yu-ih's municipal inspection tour of four Nordic countries recently included visits to Finland's flagship enterprise Nokia and Swedish startup Findity. He is also the first Taiwan county or city mayor that Nokia has ever received. Mayor Hou Yu-ih stated that he hopes through this visit and exchange to learn about the latest communications technology and techniques, as a reference for New Taipei City's subsequent investment promotion and to drive industrial digital transformation, developing into a smart economy city.

Nokia is Finland's pride. Facing decline in mobile phone development, it resolutely embarked on a path of transformation, helping departing employees move into startup ventures, and continuously developing technology to connect with the world. Nokia's research teams, including the globally renowned Nokia Bell Labs, provide customers worldwide with end-to-end 5G networks, changing human lifestyles, the economy and society faster and more securely. 2019 can be called the first year of 5G commercialization. Nokia's core view on 5G development is that 5G construction will drive transformation opportunities for every industry, enabling the realization of a digital society. In developing 5G, Nokia has not only proposed solutions for related industries: healthcare, connected vehicles, smart meters, and all the interconnectivity technologies needed for smart cities, but has also deepened collaboration with expert partners across global industry sectors to jointly build a more complete, mutually beneficial and win-win ecosystem.

Accompanied by Nokia's Head of Relations Mr. Karol Mattila, Taiwan Nokia Communications General Manager Liu Ming-ta and their professional team, Mayor Hou Yu-ih visited and experienced each area one by one. Mayor Hou Yu-ih stated that Nokia was once the most popular mobile phone on the market, and now has transformed into an internationally renowned digital service provider, so this time he is very happy to lead city government colleagues to visit Nokia, to learn the latest technology trends and understand the disruptive revolution brought by 5G.
