Türkiye invests heavily in clean technology projects
The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK) has launched a series of new projects focusing on clean technology.
This initiative aims to promote innovative business concepts and prepare startups for investment.
The move comes ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31), which is set to be held in Antalya in November, and underscores Türkiye' s commitment to green technological solutions.
TÜBİTAK, the country’s leading institution for scientific and technological development, is playing a central role in managing these projects.
The objective is to identify and support companies developing sustainable solutions.
This includes everything from improved energy systems to waste management and resource optimisation, with a clear focus on reducing environmental impact. Clean technology encompasses a broad spectrum of innovations that minimise negative environmental consequences, such as air and water pollution, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
For Türkiye, this initiative is essential for driving forward a more sustainable industry and economy.
It also represents an opportunity to strengthen the country' s position as a player in green innovation both regionally and internationally.
Hosting COP31 in Antalya this November provides Türkiye with a unique platform to showcase its progress and ambitions within the climate and energy fields.
TÜBİTAK’s projects are part of a larger strategy to ensure the country actively contributes to global climate goals, while simultaneously seeking to capitalise on the economic opportunities that accompany the transition to a greener economy. This initiative could have significant consequences for Turkish industry and the labour market.
By investing in the research and development of clean technology, it is expected that new jobs will be created and growth in innovative sectors will be stimulated.
It may also open doors for increased collaboration with international partners and potentially facilitate the export of Turkish-developed clean technology to Europe and other global markets.
