New investment incentive systems focus on high-tech manufacturing and carbon-neutral production with a $30 billion support package.
Türkiye is decisively aligning its industrial and investment strategy with the “Twin Transitions” of the 21st century: Digitalization and Green Energy. The newly launched HIT-30 High-Tech Investment Program serves as the cornerstone of this strategy, offering a massive $30 billion support package to be allocated by 2030. This program aims to transform Türkiye into a high-value manufacturing hub that meets the world’s strictest ESG requirements. The government’s goal is ambitious: increasing the share of high and medium-high technology sectors in total exports to 50%.
The HIT-30 program targets six primary areas of the future economy:
- Electric Vehicles (EVs): $5 billion in support to manufacture 1 million EVs annually, targeting a 51% domestic production rate.
- Battery Technologies: $4.5 billion to build an 80 gigawatt-hour battery manufacturing capacity by 2030.
- Chip Technologies: $5 billion to establish at least one industrial-scale semiconductor factory.
- Green Energy: $2.5 billion for solar cell production (aiming for 5 GW capacity) and $1.7 billion for wind power components.
Complementing this high-tech push is the Green Deal Action Plan. Türkiye is officially launching its pilot Emissions Trading System (TR ETS) in 2026, following the adoption of the historic Climate Law in July 2025. This legislative framework establishes a Carbon Market Board and ensures that Turkish exporters—particularly in the cement, steel, and chemical sectors—can remain tariff-free and competitive in the European market by aligning with the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
Currently, over 60% of Türkiye’s electricity capacity is generated from renewable sources, providing a significant head start in the race for carbon neutrality. For financial and sourcing investors, this transition creates a wealth of “Impact Investing” opportunities. Whether it is investing in large-scale offshore wind farms or R&D-heavy tech ventures, Türkiye is creating a lucrative and sustainable ecosystem that rewards long-term environmental responsibility. For global supply chains, the message is clear: sourcing from Türkiye in 2026 means partnering with a nation that has industrialized its sustainability, ensuring that “Turkish Sourcing” is synonymous with “Green Sourcing.”
