The Saudi Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) has entered into an agreement with Nokia to launch Nokia R&D unit for developing software in Saudi Arabia, a statement said on Thursday.

 

“The cooperation aims to establish a Nokia software development unit and Bell Labs research unit in Saudi Arabia,” the statement said, adding that “the cooperation envisages establishment of a maintenance center for base station components”.

 

The center will primarily serve Saudi Arabia, with a possibility to cover Gulf Cooperation Council Members in the future. 

 

Additionally, local talent development training programs and collaboration programs in 5G and IoT will be established. Furthermore, it will also envisage MCIT supporting Nokia in joint programs together with the Saudi Digital Academy, the statement added.
