Article: Status update of a promising Internet market in Turkey
Our Country Manager Turkey, Şekip Can Gökalp, wrote an article as a guest blogger on thenextweb.org. In “Turkey: a status update of a promising Internet market” Şekip gives an overview on the Internet and startup scene in Turkey and describes some of the turkish web2.0ish services.
“Let’s take a look at Turkey. With an estimated Internet penetration of 37%, Turkey has a total Internet user amount of 26 million people. You can find more to it in this study of Sina Afra from Ebay. I wish to give an introduction to this newly blooming market, which, I think, should be on the list of every company who has the goal to be successful on a global scale.”
He concludes that “Turkey will be one of the most important markets in Europe” and that this development will lead to better services which will focus on social networks and social shopping. Since we launched a Turkish version of mixxt in July, we won’t be too unhappy if his forecast would come true :)
