Invest in Türkiye

What Invest in Türkiye does

The Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye Investment Office, operating under the trade name Invest in Türkiye, is the official government investment promotion agency of Türkiye. Established in 2000 and headquartered in Ankara, the agency serves as the central government body responsible for attracting, facilitating, and supporting foreign direct investment into the country. Its primary constituents are foreign companies and institutional investors evaluating Türkiye across fourteen promoted sectors including Automotive, Chemicals, Defense & Aerospace, Energy, ICT, Life Sciences, Logistics & Transportation, and Machinery. The agency operates free of charge to investors and is wholly owned by the Turkish state through the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye; it does not generate commercial revenue.

The agency's product surface is a multilingual digital platform (invest.gov.tr) complemented by a portfolio of specialized tools and portals. Interactive decision-support tools include Smart Map (multi-layer interactive mapping of population density, incentive zones, airports, and organized industrial zones) and Benchmark Türkiye (comparative competitiveness charting). Educational resources comprise the FDI Glossary and a suite of sector publications, including the annual Türkiye FDI Projects Report and Türkiye's FDI Landscape at a Glance. The Investment Process Guide (IPG) is a workflow portal walking investors through bureaucratic steps from company establishment to facility commissioning. Adjacent sub-brands include Powerhouse (the Türkiye Century framework for capital, talent, industry, and startups), Start in Türkiye (a funding-strategy platform), and Invest Talk (a podcast). The agency also maintains global physical representations in key source markets and runs international roadshows and events.

Its business model is non-commercial: the agency is funded by the Turkish state as a public investment-promotion function, and all services, publications, and interactive tools are provided free of charge to prospective and existing foreign investors. Distribution is hybrid, combining 24/7 multilingual self-service digital channels with direct enterprise consultations from its Ankara headquarters and international representative offices. The agency holds a regulatory monopoly on official FDI promotion guidance and has been progressively expanding its mandate — most recently being rebranded as the Investment and Finance Office in 2024 alongside the release of the FDI Strategy 2024-2028.
