Nokia hands over HQs to Microsoft

HELSINKI, Nov 21 : Finnish telecom equipment maker Nokia said on Thursday it would hand over its headquarters outside Helsinki to US software giant Microsoft, which has acquired the group's mobile business.

The building is located in Espoo, a suburb of the capital.

According to Nokia, most of the staff in the building work for the mobile division, which explains why it will house the Microsoft offices after the transaction is completed.

The employees who remain at Nokia, now focused on the telecom business, will be transferred to other buildings in Espoo.

Nokia's headquarters, a symbol of Finnish economic success in the 1990s and 2000s, will now also be a reminder of the fall of what was once the world's biggest mobile phone maker.
