Freedom Telecom International has opened a Silicon Valley Innovation Center with Nokia near Nokia’s Sunnyvale campus, creating a collaborative space focused on next-gen digital infrastructure, AI, cloud technologies for telecom-fintech convergence, and state-of-the-art consumer applications.
Complementary to Nokia’s recently launched AI Networking Innovation Lab, the center will serve as a testing ground for joint initiatives across Freedom Holding Corp. (FRHC), Freedom Telecom International, Freedom Lifestyle Group, and Nokia, where teams can experiment, build, test, evaluate, and demonstrate digital solutions designed for direct application across FRHC’s operational footprint.
The collaboration combines Nokia’s expertise in networks, cloud, edge computing, and AI-ready infrastructure with Freedom Holding Corp.’s expanding ecosystem in finance, banking, insurance, telecom, payments, e-commerce, and lifestyle services. The parties are determined to discover and develop the most promising next-generation digital infrastructure solutions. Early focus will be on AI data center blueprints, cloud infrastructure and advanced networking, 5G and edge use cases, and enabling AI-powered consumer services.
By being located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the center will bring together:
- Nokia’s infrastructure, engineering expertise, global innovation network, and technology testbeds;
- Freedom’s ecosystem, market access, investment capabilities, and experience scaling digital financial and lifestyle services;
- Silicon Valley’s unique energy: the closeness of all technology partners, world-class entrepreneurs and world-class tech talent.
During the opening ceremony, Timur Turlov, CEO of Freedom Holding Corp., said, “Financial services represent a tremendous global opportunity due to their inefficiencies. Too much time, effort, and human capital are spent on processes that can already be automated. We have proven that it is possible to approve a mortgage within hours, and this encourages us to completely rethink the role of traditional structures. AI opens our horizon and allows us to tackle complex processes which can be redesigned and assisted through its capabilities. I trust our partner, Nokia, that together we can move our ideas to real, scalable solutions for the benefit of our ecosystem.”
Mikko Lavanti from Nokia commented, “This partnership is about delivering tangible value together. At Nokia, we bring deep expertise in designing and deploying high-performance AI infrastructure at scale, backed by a strong track record of innovation. We are proud to support Freedom in launching state-of-the-art consumer applications across its markets, helping to accelerate its AI ambitions with resilient and future-ready infrastructure.”
