The Covid-19 pandemic has not only affected the health and life of people around the world but also many areas such as the economy, the way of doing business, working life, the education sector, the urban life, and consumer consumption habits. Digital technologies and solutions also played an important role in the changes brought about by the pandemic. Digitization has brought its own challenges in this context. Being aware of this issue, Turkish-German University (TGU) hosted a conference on "Digital Challenges and Strategies in a Post-Pandemic World" in cooperation with Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences in Istanbul. The conference offered a platform for academicians as well as practitioners to discuss the current issues related to new digital applications, the impact of digitization, digital challenges, and necessary measures, as well as strategies to overcome these challenges in a post-pandemic world. The academic papers presented in the conference constitute the chapters of this book.
