Renewal of Protocol between Nokia Portugal and Iscte Business School Boosts Academic-Business Cooperation
Lisbon, Portugal - Nokia Portugal and Iscte Business School have announced the renewal of their cooperation protocol, focusing on the recruitment and career development of our students as Nokia continues to grow its Global Business Services Center. This strategic partnership aims to strengthen the collaboration between the academic and business worlds, with a keen eye on innovation in the financial sector.
Nokia's Global Business Services Center in Portugal, located in Alfragide, encompasses a wide range of finance-related services, such as order-to-cash, source-to-pay, data management, business processes, among others, crucial for Nokia's financial operations. It provides essential services for Nokia's financial operations in Southwest Europe, Central America, North America, and the Middle East. This partnership provides reinforcement for the sustainable growth of Nokia's Shared Services Center in Portugal and the company worldwide, as it plays a crucial role in the expansion and development of the company.
