The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) in collaboration with Midlands Engine Partnership and MEXT Technology Centre in Turkiye is delighted to invite you to submit an expression of interest to participate in a trade mission to Turkiye.

About the Event

Designed for export-ready companies who operate in Advanced Manufacturing and interested in doing business with Turkiye, UK delegates will have a chance to learn about the manufacturing sector and capabilities in Turkiye, promote their services and capabilities to Turkish manufacturing industry, and connect with representatives of sector organisations to increase their reach.

The main event will take place at MEXT Technology Centre, a state-of-the-art digital factory established to support manufacturing businesses in Turkiye in their digital and clean transformation.

About the Market

In the last 20-25 years, Turkiye’s manufacturing industry has evolved from an industry dominated by low technology content to an industry producing medium to medium-high technology.

Market studies indicate a need for the manufacturing companies to update their data analytics, production processes and maintenance processes capabilities in the context of the digitization. Domestic and smaller firms are more in need of upgrading their supply chain processes. After-sales service and predictive maintenance are among the gaps in the machinery industry. There is also a heightened awareness of the Green Deal and the pledge to achieve net-zero carbon emissions in Europe, with recognition by Turkish companies of the need to upgrade supply chain products accordingly.

•  Digital transformation of manufacturing
•  Intelligent automation
