- Why visit, live, invest and innovate in Türkiye? This session makes the case for Türkiye as the technology hub of the EMEA region — a market large enough for global players, strategically positioned across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and powered by a deep innovation base of 100+ technoparks and 1,500 R&D centres.
- İlhan Bağören of the Services Exporters' Association of Türkiye (HİB) takes the audience through the country's standout technology sectors — from a banking and fintech ecosystem of 400+ companies, to a globally competitive gaming industry, aerospace, telecom, a cybersecurity force of 300+ companies, and a $90bn e-commerce market — before turning to the investment case: where capital flowed in 2024, the most active verticals, and the incentives that make Türkiye an attractive destination for international investors and partners.
