Technology has been steadily developing in many countries around the world but one that may stand out and surprise many people in the technology world today is the emergence of Turkey as a large player in the technology sector. Turkey has worked very hard to develop itself into a driving force in many different business avenues today and its technological boon can be attributed to several factors. Turkey has worked itself into not just one of the leading developing countries in the world today but also as a burgeoning technology leader that many businesses are turning to as a country filled with promise and innovation.
Young Population Leads to Turnaround
Turkey has been able to lead the way in development because it is filled with a younger and more robust population and many other developing countries today. More than half of the country’s current population is under the age of 30 and a large percentage of those younger people are expected to be college graduates, more so than many European countries such as Italy. Turkey is also known for its affinity to the latest in technology, with more than 80% of the country having some type of mobile device and there are currently over 30 million Facebook users in the country, more than areas such as France or Germany. Because of the young population in the country, there is a much greater need and want for technologically advanced businesses and programs.
Technology Businesses See Great Opportunity
Many technology businesses today see Turkey as a place of great opportunity. Because there is such a drive in the country to have the latest technology that is available and there is such a strong younger population, the country is much more fertile for innovative approaches and growing businesses. The younger set is more likely to turn away from traditional methods and technology involved in businesses such as banking, finance and shopping and they are more willing to use the latest in mobile technologies available to them to do traditional tasks. This is provided in the area for many new startups to begin business and introduce their product lines in the country as they see it continue to grow and develop. Other companies that have already become established in the technology world have seen the growth that is happening in Turkey and have turned their attention to bringing their business to this area. Companies such as Spotify, eBay and Amazon have all begun grow with within Turkey.
The opportunities that exist within Turkey continue to grow all of the time. The country itself has invested a great deal in its infrastructure and business approach to help lure more technology to the area as the population continues to clamor for more and more options. Some of the top companies in technology and innovation have begun to invest heavily within Turkey and there is no sign in the immediate future that this is going to slow down. The expectations are that Turkey will become an international technological leader in the world of the future.
