In line with Türkiye's National Technology Initiative vision, we have built a very strong R&D and innovation ecosystem in recent years. Today, I can say with great pleasure that Türkiye is no longer just an industrial country, but also a strong technology country.

We owe this success to our powerful ecosystem, which brings together the knowledge produced in our technoparks, R&D and design centers, and universities with entrepreneurship. This structure, which transforms knowledge into products, products into technology, and technology into economic value, has become one of the most important driving forces of our country's development journey.

Today, more than 12,800 technology enterprises in our 114 technoparks across the country are successfully carrying out research, development, and innovation activities. This picture is one of the most concrete indicators that Türkiye's capacity to produce high technology and compete on a global scale is growing stronger every day.

We do not see our research infrastructures, laboratories, and technology development centers merely as physical investments. In fact, we are building factories of new ideas here that will develop the technologies of the future.

Today, our private sector has also become one of the strongest actors in this transformation. As the locomotive of our R&D and innovation ecosystem, Türkiye's private sector now leads the way in high value-added production, technology development, and increasing our global competitiveness.
