\u0130STANBUL, \u0130STANBUL, TURKEY, August 13, 2026 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — Inaugural GITEX Ai T\u00fcrkiye 2026 unites global tech ecosystem at Istanbul Expo Centre on 9\u201310 September as the world\u2019s largest tech and AI event network spotlights Eurasia\u2019s fast-rising intelligence economy<\/p>\n

T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s ICT market, valued at US$38 billion in 2026 and projected to reach US$58 billion by 2031, has positioned the nation at the epicentre of Eurasia\u2019s rising digital economy, accelerated by multibillion-dollar tech investment and AI talent development plans propelling T\u00fcrkiye as the next cross-border corridor of AI and digital innovation.<\/p>\n

T\u00fcrkiye has fast-tracked its digital transformation roadmap, having this year allocated $3 billion to data centre and AI investments while also seeking to raise $10 billion in private sector funding to fuel AI innovations and build one gigawatt of data centre capacity by 2030.<\/p>\n

Driving this giga-scale AI and digital ecosystem ambition is a talent programme to match, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in June 2026 announcing plans to train 10,000 advanced AI specialists and 100,000 AI application professionals as part of the nation\u2019s AI Action Plan. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s startup ecosystem raised $559 million in the first quarter of 2026, more than seven times the same period a year earlier, accelerated by one of Europe\u2019s most dynamic innovation cultures and infrastructure buildouts, with 114 technoparks hosting more than 13,000 startups, alongside over 1,700 R&D and design centres.<\/p>\n

GITEX Ai T\u00fcrkiye fuels Eurasia\u2019s surging AI momentum<\/p>\n

T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s strategic position as a bridge between Europe and Asia accelerates the nation\u2019s emergence as Eurasia\u2019s gateway to the global intelligence economy, now manifested in the inaugural edition of GITEX Ai T\u00fcrkiye 2026, the nation\u2019s most international AI and tech event, taking place from 9-10 September 2026 at Istanbul Expo Centre.<\/p>\n
