The Türkiye Century Development Move is the most important and visionary component of the new investment incentive system that came into effect in 2025. The main purpose of this program is to strengthen Turkey's production infrastructure, increase the domestic production of high-tech products, and accelerate regional development.
While the location and amount of the investment were more important in classical incentive systems, in this program, the nature, technological level, and strategic importance of the investment are now at the forefront.
This program aims for the Turkish economy to achieve a more sustainable, competitive, and resilient structure. During the evaluation process, your project is expected to answer the following questions:
Investments that answer "yes" to these questions are supported with much stronger incentives under the Türkiye Century Development Move.
The Türkiye Century Development Move consists of three separate sub-programs, each targeting different types of investments:

---|---|---|---|
💡 | Technology Move Program | Aims for the domestic production of high-tech products that are either not produced in Turkey or have a high dependency on imports. | Defense industry, medical devices, semiconductors, advanced material technologies, mobility vehicles. |
🗺️ | Local Development Move Program | Aims to strengthen industry in every province by mobilizing regional potential. 4 investment subjects specifically determined for each province are supported. | Province-based priorities such as integrated livestock in one province, food processing in another, or ceramics or textiles in yet another. |
🎯 | Strategic Move Program | Targets large-scale projects of critical importance that directly concern Turkey's national interests and can close the foreign trade deficit. | Energy production technologies, petro-chemicals, pharmaceuticals, digital infrastructure, transportation technologies. |
