For her part, Mrs Leroy commented on Greece’s impressive progress, noting that the country is an example of digital transformation in Europe. Christopoulos said he was optimistic about the digitisation of the public sector in the coming years, thanks to the power of technology and the reliability of COSMOTE and Telekom. Special emphasis was placed on the major ICT projects implemented by COSMOTE and contribute decisively to the digitization of Greece. Among these were projects related to e-health, such as electronic prescription, the National Telemedicine Network (EDIT) and myhealth app. The “heart of technology” hit Telekom’s stand By central message the promise of her brand, “Connecting Your World” Telekom presented artificial intelligence smartphones, where a digital assistant replaces countless applications, a portable mobile base station to respond to emergency coverage needs of 4G and 5G, but also autonomous robots, guided from a distance, and can be used in agricultural crops, cleaning cities, etc. With “Concept T” and using three different design examples, Telekom presented how new technologies could be integrated into a classic router. Her assistant was “Emma”, an impressive avatar in the form of AI hologram, which made dialogue with users, and there was a router in the form of robots, which can function as a digital helper at home, giving information about electricity consumption, whether plants need watering, etc. Who is Telekom Telekom is one of the world’s leading telecommunications groups, with more than 252 million mobile customers, 25 million fixed lines and 22 million broadband lines.

It employs around 200 thousand workers (31 Dec 2023) around the world, while its revenues amounted to 112 billion euros in 2023. Today it is evolving from a telephone company to a modern service provider: a software company offering telecommunications services, ensuring, through its digitisation, the successful course of recent years. Something she has achieved thanks to her presence in Europe and the US. Telekom’s vision is to become the leading Digital Telco, maintaining its main activity in the operation and sale of networks and connections. More data, greater speeds, a single source Always having the customer in focus, Telekom’s goal is to continuously meet its needs. The gigabit society, in which fast internet is considered a given, both at home and on the move, has radically changed the way we communicate. Internet applications are an integral part of our everyday life. We can download movies, watch football matches on our mobile, send photos and video files from the smartphone and share them with our friends in social media. Technically, this means that more and more data should be carried at ever greater speeds. That is why Telekom connects all these elements to offer its customers a fixed, mobile telephone and pay TV from a single source. But this requires increasingly efficient networks. Telekom can develop these networks, which will not only meet the fleeting demand for broadband connections in the future, but will also be smart enough to open new business horizons in sectors such as energy, healthcare, the car industry. In order to achieve this, Telekom also went ahead in 2023 with record investments reaching 16.5 billion euros, mainly in the development of its infrastructure around the world. The expansion of its networks is part of its social mission and its investments are necessary for its successful digitisation.
