What Ekodenge does

Ekodenge A.S. is a privately held Turkish sustainability consultancy and engineering firm founded in 1996 and headquartered at Hacettepe Teknokent in Ankara, with international subsidiaries in London (EcoWise Ekodenge Limited, established 2017 at Level 39) and Amsterdam (Stichting EcoWise Institute for Innovation Research and Digital Services). The company delivers multidisciplinary sustainability services across five practice areas—cities, buildings, architecture, industries, and environmental management—covering climate action planning, integrated sustainable building design, industrial symbiosis, waste management, and EU environmental legislative approximation. Its customer base skews toward government and quasi-government clients, including Turkish ministries, metropolitan municipalities (Gaziantep, Muğla, Karşıyaka), development agencies (Ahiler, KOSGEB), and foreign governments (Azerbaijan Ministry of Ecology & Natural Resources).

The company's technical core is a portfolio of proprietary software platforms—EPESUS Industry for industrial sustainability and symbiosis, EPESUS City for municipal climate action, plus ERABIS, EKOBINA, and the UK-branded ECO-WISE—combined with emerging-solution capabilities in urban metabolism, agent-based simulations, digital twins for cities, decision support and optimization, and IoT/big data. Headcount is disclosed only as 11–50 employees, and the team integrates environmental, chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineers with architects, urban planners, and software developers. Ekodenge has a documented EU funding record, participating in 7 Horizon 2020 projects with approximately 1.7 million EUR secured (2014–2018), ranking 17th overall and 3rd among SMEs among Turkish recipients, and mobilizing 5+ million EUR for 30+ Turkish institutions.

Commercially, Ekodenge operates primarily on project-based professional services (consultancy, engineering, architecture) complemented by what is described as subscription/recurring revenue from its software platforms, plus managed services revenue from EU research and development projects. GTM is sales-led and event-driven, combining direct engagement with government and industrial clients, consortium participation in EU framework programmes, and international expansion via the London and Amsterdam offices supported by UK partnerships with Future Cities Catapult, Carbon Trust, International Synergies, Mitie, and Element Energy. Public pricing is not disclosed, and financial revenue figures are not reported, consistent with the confidentiality typical of privately held consultancies of this size.
