This article written by Kemalettin Bulamacı that was published in Dünya, focuses on Istanbul Senin, the SuperApp launched by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, and the technology infrastructure provided by KOBIL. The application brings municipal services, transportation, social services, announcements, and smart-city functions together on a single platform, with plans to develop a broader ecosystem in which additional services can also be integrated.
The article presents Istanbul Senin as a continuation of this identity-focused approach. Users verify their digital identities and can then securely access municipal services within the SuperApp. KOBIL provides the underlying infrastructure through its KOBIL SHIFT and KOBIL SuperApp platforms, while the Istanbul project is managed through its Turkish subsidiary, Platform İstanbul.
