President Erdoğan: We want to be a producer of new technologies
Speaking at the TEKNOFEST ISTANBUL Aerospace and Technology Festival, President Erdoğan said: "We want to be a producer of new technologies ─ not a market for them ─ in this period of technological transformation.
"To that end, we will, Inshaallah, further strengthen our global competitive advantage, in particular with value-added production, consolidate our economic and technological independence, and make a leap forward in critical technologies," said Turkish president during his speech.
