Within the scope of the fair, nearly 100 companies from the software, telecommunications and e-commerce sectors will open stands. The goal is for SMEs to access the information they may need, get to know the necessary tools and develop potential collaborations.

Making assessments on the Digitalisation Virtual Fair, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu said: ''With the pandemic, a new era has begun for companies. Digitalisation has become a necessity for the continuation of trade. Our companies have also started to rapidly keep pace with technological transformation in this period. Companies of every sector and scale that have carried out this transformation have reached new customers while also increasing their productivity. As TOBB, we have implemented numerous projects for the private sector to adapt more quickly to the new economy. Now, at the TOBB Digitalisation Virtual Fair, we are bringing our technology companies together with our SMEs. I invite all our members to this event.''
