TRNet started as a project name and brand when the National Science Council partnered with Middle East Technical University to form a joint venture. This marked the beginning of Turkey’s internet journey in 1992, at a time when the internet was still in its infancy. The company was initially named after the university as “Middle East Software Services.”
Following its acquisition by Hayat Informatics Holding in 2011, Turkey witnessed a significant increase in mobile internet users, and the number of broadband users skyrocketed. As a result, the company’s model had to be revised to align with market needs and upcoming trends.
In 2016, TRNet was spun off from Middle East Software Services and transformed into a functional cloud services provider, going beyond merely connecting individuals and companies to the internet. The focus shifted towards providing comprehensive cloud solutions.
