Correct Answer: 1865
The answer is: 1865. Nokie, a Finnish multinational corporation, was originally founded on May 12th, 1865 as a single paper mill operation. Over a century later, the company would become a pioneer in mobile phone technology. Nokia’s mobile phone business was sold to Microsoft in 2014. Source
