Technopark

Hi, I'm Professor Derya Cağlar. I have been working as the general manager of Ostim Tekno-park since 2015. Our techno-park was established in 2014 and became operational in November 2018. As of today, we continue our activities at 100% occupancy in 123 companies. We can describe 50% of our companies operating in a leasable area of approximately 8 thousand square meters as our incubation companies under the age of 3. The total R&D (research and development) expenditures of our companies exceed 247 million and they have exports of approximately 5 million dollars as of 2020. The companies in Ostim Techno-park mainly work with machinery, electrical-electronics, software and embedded software competencies, and they carry out their activities mostly in the defense industry, software and medical sectors. Ostim Techno-park was established under the auspices of the Ostim Foundation and is located on the same campus as Ostim Technical University. Being on the same campus with Ostim Technical University to commercialize the products developed in the academy, to provide academic consultancy and other services required by the industry, provides a great advantage for our companies, entrepreneurs, students and scholars. As Ostim Techno-park, we are a technology development zone that acts and operates within the framework of the law numbered 4691. As a technology development zone, our main activity is to develop R&D competencies and increase innovation capacities of entrepreneurs, SMEs (Small and Medium Sized Enterprises) in our country. In fact, one of our most important basic activities is the commercialization of the product they develop and present to the market. As Ostim Techno-park, our location in the Ostim Organized Industrial Zone provides great benefits to entrepreneurs in channeling this network (business network), this knowledge and these competencies. Ostim Technical University is also a university within the industry, and together with Ostim Techno-park, it actually provides great benefits to our students from the early stages to develop their R&D cultures, increase their innovation skills, and increase their skills in presenting what they have developed to the market. Ostim Technical University students have the chance to develop technology, engage in R&D activities and gain experience in innovation within the framework of the workplace experience program at our Ostim Techno-park companies. By choosing Ostim Technical University, you will have the opportunity to be in the industrial zone, to work together in Ostim Techno-park, to be a part of the R&D culture, innovation culture and realization of high technology. We welcome you all to Ostim Technical University.
