As two leading players in Turkey’s technology development and R&D ecosystem, YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark and Entertech Istanbul Teknokent have signed a strategic cooperation protocol to help Turkish technology entrepreneurs expand into international markets. Through the establishment of International Technology Marketing Offices (UTPO) in London and Amsterdam, along with overseas accelerator programs, the initiative aims to accelerate entrepreneurs’ integration into global markets and enhance their competitiveness.

With years of international experience and success stories through its London office, YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark is preparing to extend this expertise to new entrepreneurs in partnership with Entertech Istanbul Teknokent, strengthening Turkey’s National Technology Initiative. London and Amsterdam—recognized as global technology hubs with strong innovation, investment, and collaboration opportunities—have been strategically selected as bases for the new UTPO offices and accelerator programs. Designed in alignment with the internationalization vision of the Ministry of Industry and Technology and the Ministry of Trade, these projects represent concrete steps to grow Turkey’s technology ecosystem on a global scale.

The cooperation protocol will be signed by Prof. Dr. Osman Bülent Zülfikar, Rector of Istanbul University, Prof. Dr. Nuri Aydın, Rector of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, and Prof. Dr. Eyüp Debik, Rector of Yıldız Technical University.

Global Leadership with London Experience

Already operating an active office in London and having successfully connected countless entrepreneurs with international investors, YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark aims to expand its reach to a broader entrepreneurial base through international technology marketing strategies, increasing the global competitiveness of Turkish startups.

The projects developed under the protocol with Entertech Istanbul Teknokent will not only enhance the scalability of Turkish technology enterprises but also enable them to establish a stronger presence in global markets. The new offices and accelerator programs to be established under this framework will support entrepreneurs in both financial and operational growth.
