Ahmet Burak Daglioglu, the head of Türkiye’s Investment Office, stated that renewable energy remains a key focus in discussions with foreign investors, along with the artificial intelligence (AI) sector.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA) following the Bridge Summit on Saturday organized by Young MUSIAD in London, U.K., Daglioglu provided insights into the latest developments regarding foreign investment in Türkiye.
“Technology is a primary focus for foreign direct investment. Last year, early-stage technology companies in Türkiye attracted over $1 billion in investment,” Daglioglu said.
He highlighted that the 2035 Renewable Energy Roadmap, developed by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, outlines clear targets for the coming years, further increasing foreign investor interest in the sector.
Additionally, he emphasized that AI was one of the most attractive investment fields in Türkiye last year in terms of transaction volume.
“Investment in various AI-related fields is accelerating,” Daglioglu said. “Policies in this area are crucial, and we see significant opportunities to attract further investment in AI.”
‘International companies expanding investments in Türkiye’
Daglioglu also pointed out that Türkiye’s Customs Union agreement and free trade agreements have helped expand its exports to various regions. Highlighting the growing interest of international companies in the Turkish market, he stated:
“When we examine international databases, Türkiye stands out as the leading country in attracting industrial investment projects within its competitive region.”
He further noted that Türkiye is strengthening its position as a key supplier in global trade, a trend reflected in its export figures, which have been growing at a rate exceeding the global average.
Daglioglu concluded by stating that Türkiye remains adaptable in the face of potential protectionist trade policies and is well-positioned to sustain its long-term growth trajectory.
