Rising security risks in the Middle East have shifted the direction of technology investments toward Turkey. Japanese tech giant Daikin announced it will invest $100 million in Turkey.
As the need for data security and digital infrastructure gains importance on a global scale, the conflict environment in the region has directed companies to seek safer investment centers. In this process, Turkey has emerged among the prominent countries for technology investments.
Daikin Turkey Deputy General Manager Olcay Avcı stated that the instability in the Middle East has caused a shift in investment preferences, noting that investors are turning to Turkey and Europe.
14 NEW DATA CENTERS PLANNED
Avcı, emphasizing that digital transformation investments in Turkey have accelerated, announced that 14 new data centers are planned to be established within the next two years. These projects, along with high-volume climate control investments, are expected to create new momentum in the technology sector.
It was reported that the $100 million investment under Daikin's "Fusion 30" strategy covers R&D, production, and advanced technology areas in Turkey until 2030.
The company aims to grow in data center infrastructure for the finance, e-commerce, and technology sectors.
