VBT Yazılım's 'Billion-dollar brand' vision at the General Assembly: "We are entering a period where our investors will also win"

The Ordinary General Assembly meeting of VBT Yazılım AŞ (VBT), where the 2025 financial statements were released and future strategies were shared, was concluded today in Istanbul with high investor participation. While the company management made comprehensive presentations to shareholders regarding financial statements and new period plans, critical items such as profit distribution, the release of the board of directors, and the selection of auditors for the new period were all registered by unanimous and majority vote.

COLLABORATION WITH GLOBAL GIANTS

Responding to investors' questions at the general assembly, VBT Yazılım AŞ Chairman of the Board Birol Başaran emphasized that the 25-year partnership with technology giant IBM and the new agreement signed with BMC Software have reinforced the company's international strength.

Touching upon the strong customer portfolio in the domestic market, Başaran stated, "For many years, our work with the backbone companies and institutions of our country, such as Turkish Airlines, İş Bankası, Garanti Bankası, Halk Bank, SGK, and Erdemir, has been continuing smoothly. This trust placed in us is proof of our operational quality."

"SOUTH KOREA HAS SAMSUNG AND LG, OUR GOAL IS TO BE A SOUGHT-AFTER TURKISH BRAND"

Stating that globalization is at the center of VBT Yazılım's growth projection, Başaran drew attention to the importance of value-added software exports and branding for the Turkish economy and made ambitious statements:

"We are determinedly pursuing our dream and vision of creating a billion-dollar global technology brand from Turkey. Unfortunately, there is no global technology brand from Turkey yet. Today, when South Korea is mentioned, world giants like Samsung, LG, and Hyundai come to mind for all of us. Our goal is to be a Turkish brand that is recognized and sought after abroad. Only in this way can we provide qualified foreign currency inflow to our country by exporting high technology and growing."

In the coming period, we will develop new strategies so that our investors can also derive maximum benefit from the value we create. We are doing really valuable projects that lead the sector. In the new period, we will convey this success story, our vision, and our goals to the public and our investors with much more comprehensive and transparent communication."

SIGNAL FOR GIANT INVESTMENT IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Drawing attention to the transformative power of artificial intelligence, Başaran said, "We know that artificial intelligence is making major changes in our lives and the way we do business, and that this change will continue to accelerate.
