President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has unveiled Türkiye’s 2030 Industry and Technology Strategy, which aims to position the country as a global leader in advanced technology sectors. The plan focuses on boosting research and development (R&D) in areas like electric vehicles, semiconductors, renewable energy, and green technologies, while reducing reliance on imports. This ambitious roadmap also sets targets to significantly increase industrial and high-tech exports by 2030.
For the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry, Türkiye’s strategy presents opportunities to adopt cutting-edge technologies that can transform event experiences. With a strong emphasis on digital transformation and sustainability, the plan aligns with trends toward smarter, greener venues and services. As Türkiye develops in sectors such as electric vehicles and renewable energy, MICE organisers can anticipate enhanced infrastructure, innovative event technologies, and new possibilities for sustainable, tech-driven conferences and exhibitions. This strategy not only supports the country’s technological independence but also encourages integration of emerging technologies to create more engaging and environmentally responsible MICE events.
