The filing states: "This milestone underscores Turkcell's commitment to accelerating Türkiye's digital transformation, while strengthening its role in establishing the country as a regional hub for digital and AI innovation. As part of Turkcell's strategic growth projections, Turkcell expects its data center capacity to increase by more than double by the end of 2032, and Turkcell targets a sixfold increase in its data center and cloud revenues in USD terms over the same period."
