The size of the software & IT sectors in Turkey has reached 25 billion dollars. Don't listen to those who say that our software developers cannot organize and earn money. Smart people manage to become rich.

We had a lot of clever people and good companies.

We just lack the giant enterprise and famous brand.(Baykar is becoming a famous brand in defence industry)

We can produce weapons as good as any G7 or Chinese,that is same in other sector.

We make a lot of in house software solutions and not enough open standardized tools that I know of. Video games as a sector seems like its growing nicely and is has more added value, otherwise finance sector seems like it has the bulk of jobs.

I see BEKO furniture everywhere in Europe.

White goods?

Beko is a good brand but still not a giant like Panasonic,LG or Hisense.

White goods?

Correct term in English would be home appliances AFAIK

Yes.

We now only had one enterprise,Koç Holding,in Fortune Global 500.

We need to have 3-5 companies on the list in the future.

Koc Holding | Fortune

Koç Holding is Turkey’s largest conglomerate, with sales representing about 8% of the country’s GDP. In 2023, about 40% of its revenues came from its energy businesses, including fuel refining and distribution, while 28% came from its automotive firms, led by joint ventures with Ford (Ford...

Good but still rookie numbers, we need more people in the IT and services sector.

Actually Beyaz Eşya is a calque from White Goods in English, which also exists in german as Weiße Ware.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the clarification.

Pointing out that there are around 100 technoparks in Turkey and more than 200 thousand jobs in the sector, Bağören made the following evaluations:

"Considering our young and talented human resources and the ever-increasing service demand, we expect our industry to grow above average in 2024. According to research, it is estimated that Turkey's software industry revenues will have an annual growth rate of around 10 percent between 2023 and 2028. "This rate is expected to be 5 percent in the world. Therefore, we think that the share of the sector in the global pie will gradually increase."

I made a quote from the news.

I remembered people saying that the software industry collapsed when 5000-10000 software developers from Turkey migrated to Europe and the USA. So, the young population working in software in Turkey does not migrate to Europe. The migration of 5 thousand people out of 200 thousand was not something that should be a problem. We have seen how irrelevant the people who distribute judgment to us are to this sector.

Turkiye is a funny country.West and even many of us said that Turkiye hasn't the freedom of press and speech.But we can always see the media pressing fake news and wrong opinion to look down ourselves.(for example,TOGG MADE IN ITALY)

Also,

I always said,let much more youth to go out and look the world is good for our country.

Less and less Japanese go out to the west for work and study in these 30 years leading the decline of Japan economy.

More and more youth go out to the world made Chinese ,S.Korean economy growing.

Bayraktar brothers also studyed in the west.

Ottoman empire was a small part of earth,Turkish republic is just a small part of Ottoman empire .Our country needs people to the world and bring the experience and knowledge to our country.

Turks are becoming the new Indians of IT outsourcing given how cheap it's becoming.

Infrastructure development will boost domestic labour productivity however in this sector

Actually no, we aren't competitive at pricing for software outsourcing and english is a significant barrier more than you would realize

The problem is when they go out, they never come back. And thats Turkey's fault.

As a individual you are never bored in the West. In Turkey there is nothing to do.

I was 20 days in The Hague and Amsterdam and i couldnt find time to sleep. There a so much social choices and they are very normal and standard there (red light district, casino, theme parks, coffeeshops, bowling, cart race, football game, disco etc). And that in the winter season.

In Turkey as a young man you can go Youtubing at the street interviewing complaining pensionados in the winter and in summerseason you can do picknick in the park. The rest is forbidden.

There is up to you.

I dont think so.

I think Istanbul is far better than Tokyo or London.

I just felt very dirty and lot of crazy people in west.(of coz japan is very clean)

Theme parks, coffeeshops, bowling, cart race, football game, disco in Turkey is better than west.

I dont like red light district, casino i dont want to go.

 

[B_A]

Why you think there are no coffeeshops, bowling or football game cart race or disco in Turkey?

Istanbul full of these.....

 

[uçuyorum]

Well I mean Istanbul is not the only place he may have been though why compare other small city with Amsterdam

The western small city is much more boring...especially in US or Germany...you even cant see any people for whole day.

Japan is a bit better.

And if a Turk clever man didnt want to come back,that s 80%because of salary and 15% because of political view....but not entertainment..
