The company has completed a significant change program reducing its workforce by approximately 15% to simplify its structure and cut costs while maintaining business continuity.

The company continues to invest heavily in 5G network expansion, solar-powered mobile networks in Estonia, and secure data center infrastructure, positioning itself as a leader in digital transformation and connectivity solutions in its geographic footprint. Telia's 2025–2027 financial targets aim for steady revenue growth and cash flow improvement aligned with these strategic initiatives and technology investments.
