Entertech Istanbul Teknokent has opened an International Technology Marketing Office (UTPO) in Amsterdam with support from Türkiye’s Ministry of Trade. Services for participating companies are planned to begin in 2027.
According to Entertech, the Amsterdam office is Türkiye’s third UTPO and the first in continental Europe. It aims to make international markets more accessible to Turkish technology ventures, strengthen their export capabilities and help them join global business networks.
A European base for technology companies
The project is part of Entertech Istanbul Teknokent’s efforts to bring Türkiye’s technology and innovation capacity to international markets. Established with the Ministry of Trade’s backing, the office is intended to help technology-based products and services developed in Türkiye reach a wider European market and improve participating firms’ international competitiveness.
Amsterdam UTPO is positioned as a comprehensive internationalisation centre for Türkiye-based information technology companies, particularly those working in software, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital games and mobile applications. Alongside a business address and workspace, it provides consultancy, training and promotional services covering market-entry strategies, commercialisation, business development and investment readiness. Networking meetings and dedicated programmes are also being arranged to connect companies with prospective European customers, business partners and investors.
Kasapoğlu: Supporting the global journey of Turkish technology companies
Entertech Istanbul Teknokent General Manager Associate Professor Muhammed Kasapoğlu said the project presented an opportunity for technology exports and the internationalisation of Türkiye’s entrepreneurial ecosystem:
“At Entertech Istanbul Teknokent, we aim not only to help technology ventures get established and grow, but also to help them become strong players in international markets. Amsterdam UTPO, established with the support of our Ministry of Trade, is an important reflection of that vision. We have created a structure that will help Turkish technology companies get to know the European market more closely, meet the right business partners and commercialise their solutions internationally. We believe this office will contribute to our ventures’ global competitiveness while playing an important role in developing our country’s technology and services exports.”
Services planned for 2027; preliminary applications open
The office was established under the Ministry of Trade’s UTPO support programme. Expenditure on establishment, operation, training, consultancy and eligible promotional activities is considered within the programme’s support mechanism.
Services for participating companies are planned to begin in 2027. Türkiye-based IT firms seeking to grow in Europe can submit preliminary applications to join the office.
Through Amsterdam UTPO, Entertech aims to increase Turkish technology ventures’ international visibility, support lasting business relationships in Europe and bring Türkiye’s technology production capacity to global markets.
