Odine, a global technology partner, has once again reinforced its leadership in the Virtualization category of the Top 500 ICT Companies Türkiye Research.

The award ceremony for the “Top 500 ICT Companies Türkiye Research – BİLİŞİM 500,” one of the most comprehensive and well-established benchmark studies of Türkiye’s ICT industry, was held on August 5, 2026. Bringing together leading representatives of the industry, the event saw Odine rank first in the Virtualization category for the third consecutive year, extending its leadership in this field.

Speaking on behalf of Odine at the ceremony, COO, Bora Yücel stated that artificial intelligence systems are evolving from tools that merely generate information into structures capable of making and executing decisions on behalf of companies. He emphasized that this transformation has elevated operational control, security, and technological sovereignty to matters of strategic importance for both organizations and nations.

Highlighting the importance of keeping and processing Türkiye’s data within national borders, training AI models locally, and managing critical systems through locally engineered technologies, Bora Yücel underlined the significance of these capabilities for national security. He also noted that the technological expertise and strong collaborations required to establish sovereign AI factories in Türkiye would play a decisive role in this process.

Odine received the first-place award in the Virtualization category, which was accepted by Fırat Kerim Ersoy, Vice Chairman of the Board, Odine.
