Finnish NOKIA Makes Comeback With Canadian Blackberry

With Canadian Blackberry, NOKIA finds new lease on Life; BlackBerry’s transformation mirrors that of Nokia, another former mobile phone giant that collapsed about the same time. Nokia has now found a lease of life as a provider of the hardware needed for cloud services and data centres, winning support from Nvidia, which last October announced plans to invest $1bn into the Finnish group. BlackBerry this year expanded its own Nvidia partnership in “physical AI”, supplying its QNX software for autonomous, humanoid and surgical robotics, medical imaging and industrial automation. Scott Morrison, founder and chief investment officer at Wealhouse Capital in Toronto, said the decisions that BlackBerry made decades ago saved it from going bankrupt and ceasing to exist. “I wouldn’t call their comeback ‘lucky’, you make your own luck,” he said. https://archive.is/aNBsJ#selection-1921.0-1941.74
