September 4, 2026



OTE Group’s Greek commercial brand, Cosmote Telekom, will henceforth be known as just Telekom. The rebranding is intended to create new opportunities for next-generation digital experiences, products and solutions. Enhanced international integration and the leveraging of shared powerfrul synergies seek to generate even value for both customers and the society in Greece.

“Europe is a central pillar of Deutsche Telekom’s strategy, and Greece plays an important role in our ambition to be the leading digital telecommunications company and continue growing,” commented Dominique Leroy, Board Member for Europe at Deutsche Telekom. “Uniting our brands opens new opportunities for our customers in Greece. It allows us to combine the innovative strength of our Group with our global partnerships to deliver even better solutions and experiences.

And now, we are making this ambition visible in Greece too, backed by the strength and reach of the world’s strongest and most valuable telecommunications brand.”

Telekom connects Greece with the future of digital technology and the limitless potential of Artificial Intelligence,” added Kostas Nebis, Chairman and CEO of OTE Group. He adds: “As our brand enters this new era, we are building on our legacy. We continue to have the country’s most advanced networks, leading expertise, highly skilled people and the same commitment to Greek society. This combination of global strength and Greek heritage enables us to offer even more to our customers and brings us closer to our vision: to become the leading digital telecommunications provider in Europe, while helping Greece move into Europe’s top positions in terms of digitalization.”
