Nokia is acquiring substantially all assets of Plazes, a privately-owned start-up company of 13 people with its principal operations in Berlin. Plazes provides a context-aware social-activity service that people can use to plan, record, and share their social activities: why they are at a given location at a given time, whether in the past, present or future.
By acquiring Plazes, Nokia will be able to extend its context-based service offering with social presence and time-based activity planning features. After closing of the acquisition, Plazes will become part of Nokia’s Services & Software unit.
