Mobile Communication as a Growth Engine for Emerging Economies: The Turkcell Case

Open to the Public

It is increasingly more challenging to remain competitive in a global market. Technology provides a series of opportunities for business and consumers. It also plays an important role in sustaining economic survival. Mobile communication is at the center of information convergence—and emerging economies will grow with the momentum of the mobile telecomm industry—mobile phones have reached over four billion connections, more than any other device could in the history. We can use mobile communication to attempt to solve many problems in underdeveloped areas which are otherwise not reachable.

Please join us! Light lunch and refreshments provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.

Turkcell Telecommunications

In Turkey, GSM-based mobile communication started when Turkcell pioneered its operations in 1994. Today, with its over 37 million subscribers, Turkcell is not only the leading operator in Turkey, but is also the third biggest GSM operator in Europe, in terms of subscriber numbers. Turkcell's participations in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine also provided an additional subscriber base over 24 million in the region. Turkcell's shares have been traded in New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) since 2000.
