Orange and Silknet, Georgia’s leading fixed and mobile network provider, are proud to announce the formation of a new strategic partnership under the Orange Alliance program, effective from 3 June 2024. This collaboration is set to enhance Silknet’s capabilities in the B2C, B2B and ICT sectors, leveraging Orange’s extensive expertise and innovative solutions.

The Orange Alliance program develops partnerships between Orange and selected telecommunications operators outside of Orange footprint.

Through this partnership, Silknet will benefit from Orange’s experience as one of the world’s leading operators in three key areas:  

• Expertise and Know-How: Silknet will gain access to Orange’s vast reservoir of knowledge and experience in the telecom and ICT sectors, which has been built over decades of industry leadership and innovation.
• B2B ICT Services: One of the initial focuses of this alliance will be on enhancing B2B ICT services, helping to drive the digital transformation in Georgia.
• Innovative Solutions and Platforms: As a recognized leader within its domestic markets, Orange will provide substantial support to Silknet to transform the telecom landscape. It will allow access to Orange’s comprehensive portfolio of B2C products and services, including its cutting-edge platforms.

Looking ahead, Silknet and Orange are committed to expanding this partnership by exploring new avenues for cooperation and further integrating their operations to better serve customers and tackle the evolving challenges of the digital landscape. This strategic alliance marks a pivotal moment in Silknet’s journey towards excellence, backed by the robust capabilities and global reach of Orange.

“Silknet has a 10-year history of successful cooperation with Orange, and I am happy that it has now grown into a strategic partnership. It marks a new era in the development of Silknet's digital ecosystem enabling it to offer cutting-edge products and services. We are delighted that this global European conglomerate will help Silknet introduce its innovations to the Georgian and regional telecoms markets,” stated George Ramishvili, Chairman of Silknet’s Supervisory Board.
