Why Türkiye

A new pole in a multipolar world.

Türkiye sits at the intersection of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East — no longer merely a bridge between regions, but a strategic base for energy, trade, and capital flows. The new tax package is a deliberate signal: Türkiye is positioning itself as a destination, not a transit point.

Istanbul Bosphorus
01 — Position

Strategic Geography

Three continents within a four-hour flight. Istanbul Airport ranks among the world's top hubs, with direct connections to over 300 destinations across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas — placing your business at the centre of three time zones.

Istanbul Finance Centre
02 — Capital

Istanbul Finance Centre

A purpose-built financial district hosting the Central Bank, Borsa Istanbul, and major regulatory bodies — with a 10-year corporate tax exemption for new entrants. In the past month alone, IFC's CEO confirmed talks with 40+ companies from Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Gulf considering relocation. Occupancy is set to double to 40,000 workers by year-end. The shift is happening now.

Turkish Mediterranean coast
03 — Lifestyle

Quality of Life

Mediterranean coastline, world-class cuisine, modern healthcare, international schools, and a cost of living substantially below Western European hubs — without compromise on infrastructure.

Currency hedge
04 — Protection

Stable Currency Hedge

Foreign-currency holdings, real estate, and capital gains in hard assets are protected. The 20-year exemption shields foreign-source income from local volatility entirely.

Talent pool
05 — Workforce

Talent & Workforce

A young, multilingual, technically skilled workforce — over 200,000 STEM graduates per year — at salary levels that make Türkiye highly competitive for regional headquarters.

Istanbul Park F1 Circuit
06 — Visibility

Back on the Global Stage

From 2027, Formula 1 returns to Istanbul Park under a new five-year deal — the legendary circuit that hosted Hamilton's seventh title. It is one signal among many: Türkiye is being placed back into the rotation of premier global venues. With 19 million F1 fans domestically and rapidly growing international visibility, the country is no longer a peripheral story.

One-Stop Investment Bureau
07 — Execution

One-Stop Investment Bureau

A single digital platform consolidates company registration, work permits, tax filings and incentive applications — coordinated by the Presidential Investment and Finance Office. What used to take months now takes weeks. Onboarding designed for international investors, in English, with dedicated case officers.
