Nokia confirmed its commitment to Chicago by announcing, together with Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the relocation of its Mobile Phones Xpress Internet Services group from Itasca to Chicago.\"\"<\/a> Nokia\u2019s largest office in North America is already located in Chicago and houses approximately 1,200 employees.<\/p>\n

Nokia\u2019s Mobile Phones Xpress Internet Services group will join the Location & Commerce business and will bring approximately 150 jobs to the city. Additionally, the company also plans to add 100 local tech jobs, pushing Nokia\u2019s headcount in Chicago to nearly 1,500.<\/p>\n

\u201cNokia\u2019s growth in Chicago is a huge win for the city of Chicago and further testament that the technology space in the city is exploding,” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. “More and more companies in this space are seeing that Chicago has the top talent available to help innovate and grow businesses in the coming years. I look forward to working with Nokia to extend Chicago\u2019s leadership and growth, creating jobs and economic opportunity for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

The relocation of the Mobile Phones Xpress Internet Services group and the hiring of additional personnel for the Location & Commerce business will take Nokia\u2019s overall presence in Chicago to encompass over 350,000 square feet of leased office space. The relocation of the Nokia team from Itasca to Chicago did not involve any financial incentives.<\/p>\n

Mayor Rahm Emanuel earlier this year announced the City\u2019s Plan for Economic Growth and Jobs, produced by World Business Chicago, which features 10 growth strategies for Chicago\u2019s economy. One of the key points presented in the report is the attraction of new corporate, regional and divisional headquarters. The Nokia announcement marks the 10th headquarters move announced by Mayor Emanuel in his tenure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
