From 1853 when its first electric telegraph line was established between Stockholm and Uppsala, Telia has been the trusted connectivity provider for more than one and a half centuries.

Today at Telia, we connect individuals, households, businesses and organizations across Nordics, Baltics and Eurasia. We also operate the second-largest Internet backbone globally enabling companies like Facebook and Activision Blizzard to serve their users 24/7/365 without compromise.

But our passion is beyond providing connectivity. Our passion is to create meaningful connections. So more lives can be saved, more economies can be rebuilt, more countries can be digitalized, and more people can create, explore, invent, share and reach out.

Our passion is beyond providing connectivity. Our passion is to create meaningful connections.

That’s why we have embarked on an exciting journey to become the New Generation Telco, where the customers are champions and technology brings the world even closer, where we do things with a lot of passion and heart, where we make a difference.

We’re stepping into new areas where the customers want us to be and need us to be. Internet of Things, eHealth, Financial Services and Media are just examples of us pushing the boundaries and challenging the industry.

We’re transforming ourselves into a digital service provider and establishing a platform where service producers and consumers are connected in an intelligent, automated and seamless manner.

Furthermore, we’re opening up our ecosystem to embrace collaboration with corporations, startups, individual developers and anyone else who shares our passion for creating meaningful connections.

Because we believe only by joining forces can we create a world full of meaningful connections.
