Z.Zeynalova also emphasized Azercell’s commitment to support the Government in the implementation of the IoT. This includes equipping the liberated territories in Karabakh with technologies within the framework of the Government Program "Smart City” and "Smart Village”.

More than 3,700 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories.

Azercell also received the Bronze Award in the nominations "The most innovative company of the year" and "The most valuable corporate responsibility company".
