Huawei, one of the world’s foremost information and communications technology companies providing services and products to one-third of the world’s population, believes that Turkey’s location is quite strategic. Turkey, being a part of the ancient Silk Road network that is linked to China and serving as a bridge between the Middle East and Northern Africa region(MENA) and Europe, holds a considerably strategic position.
Huawei began operations in Turkey in 2002 with the opening of an office in Ankara. The company then opened offices in Umraniye and Maslak in Istanbul. Huawei Turkey has been taking advantage of the country’s human resources and geographical position and providing services to 11 countries across the Middle East and Caucasus as the headquarters since 2009. The company is the biggest supporter of Turkey’s 2023 vision developed for the information and communications sector. Huawei Turkey’s 800 employees and more than 60 business partners encompassing a 4,000-person ecosystem have been a driving force in the development of Turkey’s information communications technology sector and its economy. In October 2014, Huawei was named the leader in the “Telecommunications Infrastructure Equipment” category of the “Top 500 IT Companies” survey.
Since 2011, Huawei has expanded its field of activities through device and enterprise operations. Today, the company provides products and services to operators, enterprises and consumers, while its R&D center, training center and three major business units offer dedicated digital-age support for Turkey.
Huawei Turkey’s R&D Centre
Huawei has 16 R&D centers as part of its integrated product development process. In February 2015, Huawei Turkey’s R&D unit celebrated its fifth year of operations. The company made an investment of more than USD 80 million in Europe’s second-largest international R&D and Software Solution Center, which came into operation in Istanbul in 2009. Software produced here is used in more than 30 countries across Europe and South America.
The Huawei Academy
The Huawei Academy was founded in 2008 and has so far conducted training programs in three languages across 11 countries. The Huawei Academy, with its ever-developing training center and growing team, has begun to address a wider region by providing training support not only in Turkey but also in Azerbaijan, Albania, Georgia, Belarus, and other Central Asian countries.
