BIOTECHNOLOGY VALLEY
Biotechnology Valley is a biotechnology specialised zone project that is being established. It covers a large ecosystem to include all stakeholders of the sector. With its strong infrastructure and incentive mechanisms, it is a base where qualified biotechnological products with high added value will be produced and these products will be exported to the world.
The Biotechnology Valley will be one of the world's important Biotechnology Ecosystems as a centre that will include all layers and dynamics of the sector such as technology development zone, R&D centres, technology transfer office, test and calibration laboratories, patent offices, biotechnology vocational school and Basic Sciences University.
ECOSYSTEM WITH STRONG INFRASTRUCTURE
The Biotechnology Valley is being built on an area of 262.5 hectares in Istanbul, a bridge connecting Asia and Europe. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process for this area has been successfully completed and the authorities have approved the construction of the Biotechnology Valley as a base in this region. Infrastructure and superstructure works are being carried out meticulously.
SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT
The Biotechnology Valley will employ 20 thousand qualified people. It is planned that 2 thousand of the employees will be postgraduates, 8 thousand will be undergraduates and 10 thousand will be blue-collar.
Half of Turkey's population consists of people under the age of 33.5. Its young and dynamic population provides sufficient and qualified employment. The Basic Sciences University and Vocational High School to be located in the Biotechnology Valley are among the important projects that support the formation of qualified labour force in the valley. Students will maximise their education by doing internships in the companies in the Valley.
ONGOING PROCESSES FOR INVESTORS
Investors who wish to take part in the Biotechnology Valley will be delivered parcels with completed infrastructure works in accordance with their projects.
TARGET EXPORT VALUE
The target export value in the Biotechnology Valley has been determined as a scale between 2 thousand dollars and 10 thousand dollars per kilogram. Although the first year of its establishment is 20 billion dollars, a sustainable export is targeted by increasing by 5 billion dollars each year.
BIOTECHNOLOGY SECTOR GROUPS AND PRODUCTS PLANNED TO BE PRODUCED
The Biotechnology Valley will be open to the production of all biotechnological products that will contribute to humanity. The sector groups and sub-sector groups planned in the valley are as follows:
Some of the Production Groups are as follows:
