Doing Business in Turkey: 2026 Investor's Guide

Turkey stands as a strategic business and investment hub at the intersection of Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and North Africa.

With a population of approximately 86 million, a developed industrial foundation, robust logistics, and a young labor force, Turkey provides access to both its local market and serves as an export base. Foreign investors enjoy the same legal rights as domestic ones.

New Generation Investment Incentives (HIT-30)

In 2026, Turkey is offering updated, aggressive investment packages. The HIT-30 Tech program allocates $30 Billion to attract high-tech manufacturing, including semiconductors, battery storage, and electric vehicles, offering cash grants, payroll tax benefits, and land allocation.

Free Zones and Technology Parks

A unique strength of Turkey's ecosystem is how incentives complement each other. An investor can set up manufacturing in a Free Zone (duty-free), carry out R&D inside a Teknopark (corporate tax exemption), and base holding operations in Istanbul.
