While eGovernment applications provide convenience and speed in public services, they also contribute to the formation of a transparent and accountable state structure.

We observe that both the prevalence and use of eGovernment applications are increasing with the investments made.” He made a statement.

Our municipalities adopt a transparent, effective, common sense managed and citizen-oriented approach with eTransformation projects; "In this way, they are transforming into a more democratic structure that provides measurable, efficient services and actually includes all social layers of the people in the management," he said.

Note to the Editor:

eTR Awards were first organized by TÜSİAD and TBV in 2003, with the aim of accelerating Turkey's competitive, knowledge-based, e-services focused transformation in the EU harmonization process.

Söke Municipality received the grand prize in the 7th E-TR Turkey competition in 2010 with its Smart City Automation System (AKOS) Project. Söke, which managed to make a name for itself in the world of informatics and technology, managed to engrave its name in memories once again, this time with the project of the Irrigation Association.
