Tech Türkiye Advocates Launch

On May 21, 2025, at the Turkish Exporters’ Assembly Building, Tech Türkiye Advocates (TTA) — the Turkish chapter of the Global Tech Advocates network founded by Russ Shaw CBE — officially launched as a non-profit community connecting Turkish technology leaders with more than 30,000 innovators worldwide. Organised by the Service Exporters’ Association (HİB) and taking place three weeks before Turkey’s national participation at London Tech Week, the event featured opening remarks, high-level panels on amplifying Turkey’s tech voice and investment strategies, and networking opportunities designed to strengthen international connections and attract investment into the Turkish technology ecosystem.
