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.
