Nokia Looks to Emerging Markets to Expand Design
Nokia is in discussions to open another design base, possibly in the Far East, in a bid to tap into the growth potential of the mobile communications market in emerging nations.

Nokia chief designer Alastair Curtis says he is looking to bolster the company's main design centres in London, Helsinki, Los Angeles and Beijing.

"We are already looking elsewhere, though I don't want to say where at the moment," he says.

"I think we will see growth in the Far East and growth in the West Coast of the US," he continues.
