ANKARA (AA) - Turkey's leading cellphone operator Turkcell and a defense technologies company STM signed an agreement aimed at digital transformation of the country's industries, Turkcell said on Friday.
According to the agreement, the two companies would support industrial firms' digital transformation processes in fields of smart factory, energy and transportation solutions, industry 4.0, cybersecurity and internet of things (IoT), according to the statement issued by Turkcell.
The cooperation is aimed at increasing production efficiency, it said.
The digital transformation is expected to increase productivity by 10-15 percent, said Davut Yilmaz, STM's general manager.

STM, established in 1991, provide engineering, technical support, project management, technology transfer and logistics support services for Turkish Armed Forces and the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM).
