Turkey Introduces Tech Visa To Attract Foreign Entrepreneurs

Ankara: Turkey has launched a new tech visa program to attract foreign entrepreneurs, aiming to boost its economy and innovation sector.

Industry and Technology Minister Mehmet Fatih Kacir announced the initiative earlier this week, offering expedited work permits for up to three years for foreign nationals starting businesses in the country. The program includes tax benefits, mentoring, healthcare coverage and access to innovation centres, Xinhua news agency reported.

Government officials say the goal is to enhance local workforce capabilities and diversify the innovation ecosystem. The move comes as part of a broader strategy to address brain drain concerns, with thousands of highly educated Turks, particularly doctors and engineers, leaving for opportunities in Europe in recent years due to the country’s economic woes.

Accepted entrepreneurs will receive six months of consultancy on legal, financial, and technical aspects of their businesses. Kacir said the programme aims to transform Turkey into an epicentre of global attraction.

In 2023, Turkey ranked 12th in Europe for startup investments, with Istanbul placing sixth among European cities.

Istanbul entrepreneur Murat Belen told Xinhua that foreign entrepreneurs with expertise in new technologies are welcome, as research and development in Türkiye lag behind advanced countries, adding that he has observed that people from Eastern Europe and Asian countries “are showing increased interest in establishing startups in Türkiye.”

The tech visa complements the Digital Nomad Visa introduced in April, allowing foreigners to live and work temporarily while serving international clients.

Ankara-based entrepreneur Tekin Kahraman highlighted Türkiye’s strengths in sectors including defence, aviation, space and fintech.

The government aims to foster 100,000 tech-driven startups by 2030, with at least 100 reaching a valuation of $1 billion or more. Currently, six startups in Turkey meet that criterion.

Kahraman suggested foreign entrepreneurs may find opportunities to collaborate with local professionals in Turkey, which has Europe’s youngest population despite an ageing trend.

“It may be a mutually beneficial opportunity for both sides to exchange knowledge in a country where patent applications for innovative technologies are reportedly on the rise,” he said.
