How Nokia Survived the Mobile Phone Apocalypse

When the iPhone launched in 2007, Nokia commanded over 40% of the global mobile phone market. By 2013, its handset business had been sold to Microsoft for a fraction of its former value. But that's not the end of the story. In this episode, Lucas and Luna trace how Nokia reinvented itself as a telecommunications infrastructure giant — and how it managed to stay relevant in the 5G era. They dig into the decision to sell the phone division, the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent in 2016, and the company's current role in building the hardware that powers modern networks. Along the way, they explore what separates a business pivot from a desperate fire sale, and why Nokia's survival is a lesson in strategic patience. This is not a comeback story in the conventional sense — it's a story about knowing which part of your business is actually the future. #Nokia #BusinessPivot #Telecom #5G #MobilePhones #Strategy #Turnaround #LucasAndLuna #Fexingo #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Infrastructure #Innovation #Disruption #AlcatelLucent #Microsoft #Survival #CorporateStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
