The Vizyon 100 Platform's Istanbul Summit successfully brought together representatives from both the public and private sectors to discuss the future of the global economy under the theme “The Future of the Global Economy." The summit was attended by Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz and Investment and Finance Office President A. Burak Dağlıoğlu.
The summit covered key topics including Türkiye's investment performance, manufacturing capabilities, digital transformation, and global risks. Officials emphasized Türkiye's strengthening position in FDI, highlighting the vision of the recently unveiled “Powerhouse for Investments" program.
In his opening speech, Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz highlighted the global economy's average growth of 3% over the past three years and emphasized Türkiye's positive differentiation from the rest of the world. “Our national income has reached USD 1.6 trillion, and the economic policies we have implemented are delivering tangible results," the Vice President stated. “We are shielding Türkiye from crises in the region and strengthening confidence in the economy. The 'Powerhouse for Investments' program is being implemented, and with this new initiative, Türkiye's position will be further strengthened," he added.
Investment and Finance Office President A. Burak Dağlıoğlu also shared key insights into Türkiye's evolving role in the global economy. Reflecting on Türkiye's strategic position at the nexus of Asia and Europe, Dağlıoğlu noted that, under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Türkiye has evolved into a regional hub. “Since 2003, Türkiye has attracted approximately USD 290 billion in FDI," he emphasized. “Our vision for the future is for Türkiye to become a global economic powerhouse."
Speaking at the Global Leaders Session, Dağlıoğlu pointed out that Türkiye has firmly established itself as a regional hub for production, R&D, regional management offices, procurement centers, and logistics operations. “This is no longer up for debate," he stated. He also highlighted that international companies relocating their regional headquarters to Türkiye could benefit from significant tax advantages under favorable legal regulations. “Likewise, we aim to offer substantial incentives to companies bringing global business units or shared services center projects to Türkiye," Dağlıoğlu added.
