Azercell CEO Meets Digital Cooperation Organization Secretary-General Deemah AlYahya
Azercell CEO Zarina Zeynalova met with Deemah AlYahya, Secretary-General of the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO).
The meeting took place during the Secretary-General’s visit to Azerbaijan following the country’s admission to the Digital Cooperation Organization. As one of the key players in Azerbaijan’s digital ecosystem, Azercell joined discussions on the country’s digital development, strengthening its position in the global digital economy, and expanding opportunities for international cooperation.
Azerbaijan’s membership in the DCO is another step toward expanding international cooperation in the digital sphere and strengthening the country’s position as a regional digital hub connecting the Caucasus, Central Asia, and other markets. In this context, the meeting covered the changing role of telecommunications companies and the new opportunities emerging for the sector through the development of digital services, data, and artificial intelligence.
Zarina Zeynalova presented Azercell’s vision for building a digital ecosystem that meets the needs of the future. Zeynalova said that, alongside traditional telecommunications services, the company is also steadily developing its digital services, data, and artificial intelligence capabilities. Azercell’s goals are no longer limited to connectivity and digitization. The company aims to create new opportunities aligned with the demands of an economy in which artificial intelligence plays an increasingly significant role, develop the necessary knowledge and skills, and thereby contribute to Azerbaijan’s digital transformation.
The responsible use of artificial intelligence and the development of human capital were also among the main topics discussed at the meeting. It was noted that the successful application of artificial intelligence is not limited to creating technological solutions. Strong technology and data infrastructure, the responsible implementation of new solutions, and the continuous development of human capital through knowledge and skills are also of great importance.
The role of women in shaping technology and the digital economy was another important topic at the meeting. During the discussions, the participants emphasized the importance of women not only using technology but also creating it, participating in the management of technology companies, and playing an active role in making decisions that shape the digital future.
The meeting also addressed the importance of cooperation among the public and private sectors, technology companies, and international organizations in developing the skills and talent needed to achieve Azerbaijan’s digital development goals.
