The Investment and Finance Office of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye marked its 20th anniversary under the theme “20 Years of Excellence" with a reception held in Doha, bringing together key stakeholders from the investment, finance, and entrepreneurship ecosystems. The reception formed part of a series of international gatherings to be hosted in major global cities, aimed at strengthening Türkiye's position in the global investment landscape while engaging long-standing partners who have contributed to the country's investment journey over the past two decades.
Held in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Türkiye in Doha, the reception convened senior representatives from the business and investment community, alongside Turkish technology entrepreneurs and ecosystem stakeholders. The event also provided a platform to highlight Türkiye's investment vision, institutional capacity, and long-term commitment to fostering high-value, innovation-driven growth.
Co-hosting the reception, Türkiye's Ambassador to Doha, Mustafa Göksu, emphasized the strength of Türkiye–Qatar relations and underlined the importance of sustained dialogue between public institutions and the private sector. He highlighted the growing international visibility of Türkiye's entrepreneurial and technology ecosystem, noting its expanding footprint across sectors ranging from artificial intelligence and digital health to renewable energy, software, and advanced manufacturing.
During his address, Investment and Finance Office Vice President Furkan Karayaka drew attention to the deepening economic and investment partnership between Türkiye and Qatar. He noted that Qatar's cumulative investments in Türkiye have exceeded USD 3.5 billion since 2002, with total foreign direct investment stock reaching approximately USD 7 billion to date. Karayaka also underlined that more than 240 Qatari-capital companies currently operate in Türkiye across key sectors including finance, infrastructure, logistics, real estate, technology, and healthcare, reflecting the scale and diversity of bilateral investment ties.
Within this context, participating companies and stakeholders exchanged views on emerging investment areas and explored pathways to further strengthen economic collaboration between Türkiye and Qatar.
Through its global network and two decades of institutional experience, the Investment and Finance Office continues to facilitate high-value, technology- and innovation-driven investments.
