HIGH TECHNOLOGY TRANSITION PROGRAM IN INDUSTRY IS EXPLAINED IN İZMİR The first meeting of "High Technology Transition Program in Industry" initiated in five main sectors by the Ministry of Industry in order to increase the share of value-added and high-technology products in industrial production was held in İzmir with machine manufacturers.

T

he first phase of "High Technology Transition Program in Industry" initiated by the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology and covering five sectors initiated was held in İzmir on February 15 under the name "Turkey Machinery Industry Summit". The summit organized with the cooperation of the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology and the Federation of Machinery Manufacturing Industry Associations (MAKFED) was participated by Dr. Faruk Özlü, the

118

Minister of Science, Industry and Technology the managers and experts of MAKFED and the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology, the representatives of the universities and public, and representatives of the machinery sector.

Starting his speech giving information on MAKFED the President of the Board of Directors of MAKFED, Adnan Dalgakıran, stated that 18 machinery associations met under one structure and said "We made every effort to carry the industry activities to an institutional area as we perform the activities of the

Machinery Exporters Association.

Within this framework, we cared about the sectoral associations and we tried to help them develop their fields of expertise by supporting them. At a later stage, we gathered all these associations under one federation."

Stating that the middle income of Turkey is not a sustainable environment Dalgakıran said, "It is a little difficult to go from middle income to high income. We see this clearly in the cases of South Korea and Taiwan. However, there are more than 20 countries that went

from low to middle income. Therefore, we live in a world where the number of our competitive countries is increasing. At this point, MAKFED is making every effort to be effective in the sector's strategic decisions and to put forth comprehensive projections by gathering the machine stakeholders of the country as a roof organization."

"INDUSTRIALIZATION IS POSSIBLE WITH THE MACHINERY SECTOR" Voicing his pleasure to be in İzmir for Turkey Machinery Industry Summit, the Dr. Faruk Özlü, the Minister of Science, Industry and Technology said that the matters to be discussed during the summit, the ideas to be formed and the solution proposals to be generated would bring along positive consequences for the Turkish machinery sector.

Underlining that the machinery sector is in a very special position in developed and developing countries, the Minister Özlü said, "It is not possible to talk about industrialization without the machinery sector. If there is a machinery sector, then there is industrialization, if there is machinery, there is production and added value. Therefore, the existence of a strong machinery sector is essential for a balanced and stable economy. The production and employment size of the machinery sector is one of the main indicators of industrialization. In the last quarter of 2017, we had an 8,7 percent growth in the industry compared to the same period of the previous year. The industry had a significant contribution to this all-time high growth", and he emphasized that growth led by industry was the clearest indicator of a healthy economy.

"NATIONAL AND DOMESTIC PRODUCTION IS A STRATEGIC STANCE" The Minister Özlü emphasized that

we had to keep up with the times saying "In the development process of the countries, the importance of machinery industry within the manufacturing industry is increasing. In developed countries, the share of the machinery sector in exports is around 20 percent.

We must also reach these levels. We have to create our domestic and national machinery industry in all aspects including design, technology, production, brand, and marketing. But as we move towards this goal, we have to get strength from design, innovation, and R&D. Otherwise, we can not get any distance," and he added: "Growth by preserving the existing conditions of the companies is now history. The time is self-renewal and self-development time. If we cannot develop our products with R&D and design by adding innovation, unfortunately, we will disappear. Based on all these, we put domestic and national production on the basis of our development policies. Let's remember that development starts with domestication. From now on we will pursue a policy of domestication and development oriented towards production. I would like to emphasize that this policy is not a policy that excludes foreign investment. We tell everyone 'produce in Turkey, supply your needs here, create jobs here, pay taxes here, export from here'. When we say that, we do not consider the capital structure.

There is nothing more natural than our support to domestic production. All developed countries protect their production and technology by intensively supporting them.

Therefore, national and domestic production is a strategic stance and a strategic policy for us. Now we need to break the routine of ‘Domestic Goods Week’ imprisoned in chickpea and grapes. Now, there is a Turkey taking firm steps to create its domestic technology

in a wide range of industries from defense to energy, from health to agriculture, from transportation to industry. Today's Turkey is a sound Turkey taking matters to its own hand when needed, aiming to grow with its national and domestic resources."

"WE CONSIDER PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR AS STRATEGIC PARTNERS" Stating that concrete steps were taken to achieve the targets set out and that they would continue, Ozlu emphasized that there are comprehensive studies paving up the way for domestic production with production, R&D reform packages, and the Industrial Property Law. Stating that the High Technology Transfer Program is a product of this thought, the Minister Özlü emphasized that they expected significant contributions from the industrialists for this works. Özlü said, "We consider Turkey Machinery Industry Summit as an important step in this program.

We expect a significant awareness and contribution from all of our stakeholders, from all our sectors and industrialists to the High Technology Transition Program in industry. We know that the key to strengthening Turkey's economy is through a strong private sector.

Therefore, we consider the public and private sectors as strategic partners. In this sense, we want to act in harmony with you while making laws, preparing legislations, creating support packages, and making technical regulations."

Talking about the Placement Executive Board, which was realized on January 24, 2018, the Minister Özlü stated that the Board would pass on the programs that will increase the competitive power of the industry. Özlü said, "This Board is the most concrete expression of our stance for the national and domestic industry."

TURKISH MACHINERY INCREASING THEIR POWER WITH WOMEN ENGINEERS Turkish Machinery met the students of the Engineering Faculty of Sakarya University as part of the "With Women Engineers, With All Our Strength" project realized to encourage the equal participation of women in the business life and to add their creative power to Turkish industry.

I

n the "With Women Engineers, With All Our Strength" event held in February 19 in SAU Culture and Congress Center with the support of Women in Business Life Club of Sakarya University, the President of the Board of Directors of MAİB Adnan Dalgakıran, the President of the Board of Directors of Kale Group Zeynep Bodur Okyay, the CEO of Vispeara Bilgi Teknolojileri Dr. Aytül Erçil and the journalist and author Ali Ağaoğlu participated as speakers. Adnan Dalgakıran emphasized that the way to increase the participation of women in business life required a cultural change in the event that gained the attention of the students of the Engineering Faculty of Sakarya University.

In his speech, Dalgakıran said,"The ratio participation in the workforce in Turkey is around 50 percent. This figure is above 70 percent in Germany, the USA, and other developed countries. This means: While every 70 people in 100 work and produce in Germany, only 50 people work and contribute to production in Turkey. The women-man employee ratio is almost equal in developed countries.

But in Turkey, the ratio of wom-

120

an employees is 30 in 100 people.

The more the participation to the workforce, the more values will that country produce", and he also stated that it will not be enough to increase the woman employee ratio to 70 percent, and the most qualified positions of this area will be filled with woman students with engineering education.

"WOMAN ARE AN INFINITE SOURCE OF ENERGY LIKE THE SUN" The President of the Board of Directors of Kale Group, Zeynep Bodur Okyay, one of the speakers of the event, stated that they support the "With Women Engineers, With All Our Strength" project so that the women participate in the in-

dustry and to encourage them to work in engineering.

Zeynep Bodur Okyay said, "While the importance of technological production in information-based economy increases, we must make this area more attractive for women. Carrying our works to increase the women equality in employment, the women should be encouraged towards STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education), we must provide all our young people good education with high technology and suitable to the needs of the country", and she added "The number of women entrepreneurs in Turkey is currently around 7 percent, we must increase this figure to at least 25 percent."

"OUR SPECIALTY ASSOCIATIONS WILL STAND OUT WITH THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE AT THE FAIR" Kutlu Karavelioğlu, the Vice Chairman of MAİB, made a speech at the meeting and reminded that machine industry is one of the largest industries of the world: "The total revenue of the world is 80 trillion dollars.

19 trillion dollars of this figure is fixed capital investments. In other words, 25 percent of the income is spent on investment.

25 percent of this is machinery equipment investment. This rate is around the same for the past decade. The estimated market

and production figure of the machine industry will be 4,8 trillion dollars. The world spends 1/16 of its revenue for the machines.

And Turkey allocates 94 billion dollars of 163 billion dollars, in other words, 11 percent according to 2016 TÜİK data. According to the figures of Turkish Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology, the industry employs 240.000 individuals. It generates a value of 20-22 billion dollars with 13.200 active companies. The employment rate of the industry increased an average of 8 percent every year for the last eight years. Among all of our industry branches, we are the one with the highest added value share."
