Turkey positioned as a regional hub for technology and investment
Ahmet Burak Dağlıoğlu, head of the Investment Office of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey, recently stated at the GITEX Ai Turkey event that Turkey is a genuine regional centre for multinational companies, rather than merely acting as a bridge.
This emphasis underlines Turkey' s ambitions to strengthen its economic and technological position within the region.
Dağlıoğlu stressed that the country functions as a strategic hub, particularly for global players.
He highlighted Turkey as a vital centre for manufacturing, research and development (R& D), and logistics, indicating a wide spectrum of business opportunities and a solid infrastructure to support various industrial sectors. According to Dağlıoğlu, a significant number of global companies are already leveraging Turkey' s capacity to manage and coordinate their regional activities.
This testifies to the country' s established role and attractiveness as an operational base for international business.
For Turkey, this development means increased international investment, the stimulation of innovation through strengthened R& D, and an important place in global supply chains.
With events such as GITEX Ai Turkey, which focuses on artificial intelligence, the country is also signalling a commitment to advanced technologies as part of its ongoing development as a hub.
Turkey' s position as a manufacturing, R& D, and logistics centre also has implications for international partners.
A stronger Turkish economy and industry can lead to increased cooperation and contribute to a more robust regional economy, which is highly relevant for Europe, NATO, and other global stakeholders.
