Technology Development Foundation of Türkiye

About Us

Technology Producing Türkiye

TTGV was established in 1991 with the mission of supporting and strengthening technology development and innovation activities. It holds the unique status of being the first and only foundation in Turkey established by law through a public-private partnership dedicated to technology development.

TTGV is a foundation committed to bridging the gap between technology and the real world by supporting the private sector's R&D and innovation efforts. It generates value as an impartial, agile, and trusted platform that monitors global trends, provides inspiration and strategic vision, and evolves through collaborative learning.
