Jolla Mobile and Sailfish OS

Jolla is a Finnish technology company that specializes in the development of Sailfish OS, an open-source mobile operating system. Founded in 2011 by former Nokia employees, the company aimed to continue the legacy of the MeeGo OS after Nokia shifted its strategy toward Windows Phone. Jolla initially gained attention for its first smartphone and later the Jolla Tablet, which were designed in Finland.

Today, Jolla's business model has shifted from manufacturing hardware to licensing Sailfish OS to various partners and governments globally, particularly in Russia and Latin America. While the brand and design originate from Finland, the hardware manufacturing for their devices has historically been outsourced to facilities in China. The company remains an independent entity with a diverse range of international investors, focusing on privacy-focused mobile solutions for the corporate and governmental sectors.
