As a result, the new Google Cloud region will provide high-performance, low-latency services and bring advanced tools in data analytics, cybersecurity and digital business solutions closer to local organisations.
As part of the agreement, Turkcell will also use Google’s ecosystem to strengthen its own operations and will act as a reseller of Google Cloud solutions to enterprises nationwide.
The move also aims to empower organisations to innovate, scale and operate more efficiently, the technology giant revealed.
Turkcell CEO, Dr. Ali Taha Koç, said: “Our partnership with Google Cloud clearly reinforces Turkcell’s leadership in driving Türkiye’s digital transformation. This strategic partnership is more than a technology investment – it is a milestone for Türkiye’s digital future, aligning our national vision with Google Cloud’s global technologies and unlocking opportunities for AI innovations.
“This collaboration gives our customers seamless access to Google Cloud’s cutting-edge capabilities. This new Google Cloud region will enable enterprises to innovate faster and compete globally. As part of this partnership Turkcell plans to invest $1 billion in data centres and cloud technologies.”
Google Cloud CEO, Thomas Kurian, continued: “This partnership signifies a strategic investment in the future of the Turkish economy, and is designed to meet the increasing demand for cloud and AI services in the country and across the region.
“This collaboration will serve as a catalyst for digital transformation, empowering the country to harness advanced technology to build and grow the next generation of businesses.”
Cevdet Yılmaz, VP of the Republic of Türkiye, concluded: “The partnership between Google Cloud and Turkcell will further accelerate Türkiye’s digital transformation journey. It reflects the confidence of global technology leaders in the strength, resilience, and innovation capacity of our economy.
“By integrating advanced data infrastructure and next-generation cloud technologies into our digital ecosystem, this alliance will enhance efficiency and foster innovation across public and private sectors.
