Ericsson is planning to set up three new ICT centers over the next five years, of which two will be located in Sweden and the third one in Canada. These centers will be another step in providing industry leading cloud-enabled technology.

The new centers will house the company’s complete portfolio, enabling the R&D organisation to develop and verify solutions, creating the foundation for the next generation technology and cloud-based services.

“The new ICT Centers are examples of Ericsson’s passion for driving the development of the industry. Great ideas come from collaboration, and at these centers we will push the boundaries of possibility on next generation technology and services. Flexibility enabled by new ways of working will realise innovation faster to the market and to our customers,” said Hans Vestberg, President and CEO, Ericsson.
