1,440 minutes make up a customer's day. Every one of them is where augmented intelligence should show up, not just the big moments. In his latest op-ed for @GSMA @MWCHub 26 Doha, our Group CEO @Kaan_Terzioglu writes about AI1440: bringing that intelligence to people in local languages, on devices they already carry, and to the businesses and governments we serve. It's built on three things: sovereign local-language AI models, digital services that help people achieve more in daily life, and agentic AI for enterprise clients.

At the Tashkent International Investment Forum, the @beeline_uz team won an ESG award for offering free AI courses to 1,000 computer science teachers, in partnership with the Tashkent International University of Education (TIUE). This reflects VEON’s AI1440 strategy in action: treating AI as augmented intelligence that helps people become better versions of themselves, helping teachers become the best teachers by giving them access to tools that enable them to do even more for their students. Congratulations to the Beeline Uzbekistan team 👏

Kyivstar has signed an MoU with Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy to advance digital infrastructure and explore building a sovereign, AI-ready data center in the country. ​New, sovereign data center capacity in Ukraine would mean more secure, in-country data processing, faster AI-powered services, and new opportunities for innovation across key sectors - from public services to industry. It will also strengthen resilience, support Ukraine’s technological independence, and enable scalable AI adoption that benefits both businesses and society. This cooperation marks another step in delivering our AI1440 strategy - bringing practical, everyday AI to the markets we serve. By supporting sovereign AI infrastructure in Ukraine, we’re helping ensure digital growth is resilient, locally anchored, and creates lasting value for people and the economy. 🔗 Read more at $VEON $KYIV @TwiyKyivstar
