Finnish telecomms solutions provider Nokia announced on Tuesday (7 December) that its subsidiary Nokia Venture Partners had formed a new mid- to late-stage USD100m venture capital fund, Nokia Growth Partners.

The new fund would complement the continuing early-stage investing activities of Nokia Venture Partners, and would invest in innovative mobile technology companies that have a commercially available product, are experiencing significant revenue growth, and are beginning to experience adoption by large companies such as Nokia.

Nokia Growth Partners would reportedly have a global footprint and focus on ROI (return on investment), and would have Nokia as its sole Limited Partner.

Nokia Venture Partners would be raising a third early stage fund in 2005.

One US dollar (USD) is worth approximately 0.55 British pounds (GBP).
