Türkiye’s Industry and Technology Strategy 2023 is a comprehensive strategy presented by the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology, designed to significantly enhance the nation’s technological and industrial sectors in alignment with Türkiye’s vision of ‘National Technology, Strong Industry.’ The strategy includes a robust plan to elevate Türkiye’s standing in the global economy by the centennial of the Republic in 2023, leveraging advancements in technology and industry to ensure sustainable economic growth and improved societal welfare.

The strategy hinges on fortifying the nation’s industrial and technological sectors. Achievements in these areas, fueled by a robust industrial infrastructure, flexible production capabilities, a skilled workforce, and an innovation-promoting R&D ecosystem, are foundational to Türkiye’s progress. The strategy emphasizes continuous improvement, aiming to elevate Türkiye into the upper echelons of the global economy. This ambition will be pursued under the aegis of the National Technology Movement, which will shape new industrial and technological policies.

The primary focus is to create a sustainable ecosystem that will endure and adapt to challenges. Steps will be taken to enhance the existing ecosystem from educational reforms to human resource planning and the development of industrial zones and research infrastructure.

This strategic vision positions Türkiye to capitalize on advancements in critical technologies, aiming to carve out a competitive edge in high-tech sectors and increase its share in global value chains. Such advancements are seen as imperative, not optional, in the contemporary landscape of trade and technological warfare. As the Fourth Industrial Revolution reshapes global dynamics, Türkiye plans to deploy its strategy in alignment with its specific needs, infrastructure, and aspirations, striving to position itself among the leading nations in technology.
