      <title>Nokia changes iconic logo to signal strategy shift</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30313515/nokia-changes-iconic-logo-to-signal-strategy-shift</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BARCELONA: Nokia (NOKIA.HE) announced plans on Sunday to change its brand identity for the first time in nearly 60 years, complete with a new logo, as the telecom equipment maker focuses on aggressive growth.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The new logo comprises five different shapes forming the word NOKIA. The iconic blue color of the old logo has been dropped for a range of colours depending on the use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“There was the association to smartphones and nowadays we are a business technology company,” Chief Executive Pekka Lundmark told Reuters in an interview.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He was speaking ahead of a business update by the company on the eve of the annual Mobile World Congress (MWC) which opens in Barcelona on Monday and runs until March 2.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After taking over the top job at the struggling Finnish company in 2020, Lundmark set out a strategy with three stages: reset, accelerate and scale. With the reset stage now complete, Lundmark said the second stage is beginning.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Nokia still aims to grow its service provider business, where it sells equipment to telecom companies, its main focus is now to sell gear to other businesses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We had very good 21% growth last year in enterprise, which is currently about 8% of our sales, (or) 2 billion euros ($2.11 billion) roughly,” Lundmark said. “We want to take that to double digits as quickly as possible.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Major technology firms have been partnering with telecom gear makers such as Nokia to sell private 5G networks and gears for automated factories to customers, mostly in the manufacturing sector.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nokia plans to review the growth path of its different businesses and consider alternatives, including divestment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The signal is very clear. We only want to be in businesses where we can see global leadership,” Lundmark said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nokia’s move toward factory automation and datacentres will also see them locking horns with big tech companies, such as Microsoft (MSFT.O) and Amazon (AMZN.O).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“There will be multiple different types of cases, sometimes they will be our partners … sometimes they can be our customers… and I am sure that there will also be situations where they will be competitors.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The market to sell telecom gear is under pressure with macro environment denting demand from high-margin markets such as North America, being replaced by growth in low-margin India, pushing rival Ericsson to lay off 8,500 employees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“India is our fastest growing market that has lower margins - this is a structural change,” Lundmark said, adding that Nokia expects North America to be stronger in the second half of the year.&lt;/p&gt;
