In line with our shared goals with ITU, Türkiye is steadfastly continuing our efforts to ensure that all our citizens can benefit from the opportunities offered by digital technologies in the most effective and inclusive manner. We continue to promote innovation, increase digital inclusion, and strengthen our digital infrastructure to support sustainable development and the progress of our country.
Recognizing the strategic importance of cybersecurity, Türkiye places the highest priority on building a safe and resilient digital ecosystem. According to the ITU Cybersecurity Index 2024, Türkiye received full points and was evaluated in the “Tier 1: Role-Modeling Country (95-100 Points)” category.
Türkiye is committed to advancing modern and effective methods to build trust and confidence in the use of digital technologies. We actively leverage ITU’s pioneering initiatives in this field and are proud to be recognized as a “best practice” country for child online protection.
We prioritize the creation of a safe and secure digital environment, implementing age-appropriate policies, public awareness campaigns, and educational programs to ensure a responsible, resilient, and child-friendly online ecosystem.
Established in 2017 under the BTK, the Safer Internet Center conducts activities to raise public awareness on the conscious and safer use of the internet. To date, it has reached over 250,000 individuals through more than 1,500 trainings and seminars. In addition, the Internet Hotline operating within the Center has been an active member of INHOPE since 2011.
Every step Türkiye takes in line with its national strategies brings the country closer to becoming a regional leader and a global player in the digital and technology sectors.
Within the visions outlined by initiatives such as “Türkiye Century,” and “National Technology Initiative,” the production, development, and deployment of cutting-edge technologies, as well as the protection of citizens’ rights, remain among Türkiye’s highest priorities.
Türkiye aims to be a technology hub in 5G and beyond network by supporting national vendors and encoraging operators.
A major milestone in this journey was achieved in 2025, with the commissioning of TÜRKSAT 6A, Türkiye’s first domestically designed and produced communication satellite, built with over 80 percent nationally manufactured components. With this achievement, Türkiye joined the select group of only 11 countries worldwide capable of producing their own communication satellites.
Another big step was taken with the National Spectrum Monitoring System, a state-of-the-art spectrum monitoring and control infrastructure designed and implemented with domestic and national resources, to ensure the secure, efficient, and orderly operation of the electronic communication ecosystem across the country. Spectrum activity is continuously observed in near real time through the National Monitoring System. Unlicensed and unauthorized emissions are detected and analyzed using an integrated network of fixed, mobile, and portable monitoring stations. When required, high-precision geolocation and direction-finding techniques are employed to identify interference emission sources. The system enables rapid detection, classification, and attribution of interference, including harmful emissions, illegal transmitters, and pirate radio operations, allowing for swift mitigation and enforcement actions. Today, this platform has evolved into a mission-critical capability, supporting the resilience and protection of aerospace, aviation, and other critical communication infrastructures, where spectrum integrity is non-negotiable.
Green Map, a high-resolution electromagnetic field (EMF) supervision system continuously monitors electromagnetic emission levels originating from mobile base stations, radio transmitters, and television broadcast facilities across the entire country for strengthening Türkiye’s digital ecosystem. Measurements are automatically evaluated against frequency-dependent regulatory exposure limits, ensuring early detection of anomalous or non-compliant emission levels. Any deviation triggers prompt technical and administrative follow-up. All validated measurement data is processed and visualized on the Green Map, a fully in-house developed monitoring and mapping platform, providing a transparent, data-driven, and geographically granular view of nationwide EMF exposure levels. The platform supports regulatory oversight, public transparency, and long-term trend analysis, transforming raw EMF measurements into actionable intelligence.
