A Strategic Representation
of Türkiye's Biotechnology Future

Established under the leadership of Biotechnology Valley, the Türkiye Pavilion has been created to showcase Türkiye's scientific capabilities, manufacturing strength, and investment potential in biotechnology to global stakeholders.

As Türkiye's leading biotechnology cluster, Biotechnology Valley brings together public institutions, private sector companies, and academia under one integrated ecosystem, fostering sustainable growth, innovation, and high-value production.

This is not merely a promotional space — it is a strategic representation of Türkiye's rising position in the global biotechnology landscape. The Pavilion aims to foster strategic collaborations with international investors, industry leaders, and research institutions; accelerate technology transfer; and establish sustainable, long-term partnerships.

Scope

Led by Biotechnology Valley, Türkiye's presence at BIO 2026 presents the country's biotechnology ecosystem through a comprehensive perspective, highlighting its infrastructure, R&D capacity, and manufacturing strength.

The stand showcases capabilities in biopharmaceuticals, advanced therapies, diagnostic solutions, and industrial biotechnology, while emphasizing investment and collaboration opportunities. It facilitates direct engagement through strategic partnership discussions, technology transfer initiatives, and investment-focused meetings.

Sustainable Biotechnology Future

Developed under the Biotechnology Specialized Organized Industrial Zone (BİOSB), this project portfolio presents an integrated transformation model focused on digitalization, sustainability, and circular economy across industrial and agricultural ecosystems.

Digital Twin

BIO-TWIN OSB

AI-Powered Digital Twin Platform

An AI-powered digital twin platform for industrial zones integrating energy, water, and emissions data. Provides carbon & water footprint calculations, scenario analysis, and LCA-integrated sustainability decision support — aligned with CSRD and CBAM regulations.

Smart Agriculture

COP-PILOT

Smart Agriculture & Resource Optimization

Integrates AI, sensor data, Copernicus satellite data, and LCA to optimize resource use in agricultural production — targeting 25% water savings, 20% fertilizer reduction, and 15% carbon reduction. Pilot at BIOSB site.

Biotech Production

CLEANPROT

Biotechnological Protein Production

Converts agro-industrial by-streams (sunflower meal, brewer's grains, etc.) into high-value plant proteins through fermentation and enzymatic processes. Evaluated at pilot scale for technical feasibility, environmental impact, and commercialization potential.

Circular Economy

GreenBioLoop

Circular Bioeconomy & Vertical Farming

Transforms agricultural waste into bio-fertilizers and biostimulants through fermentation for use in vertical farming systems. Aims to convert waste into value-added inputs, increase vertical farming efficiency, and establish a circular production model.

High-Value Investment

BIOSB HIT-30

High-Value Investment Program

A Biotechnology Industrialists Association initiative targeting domestic production of critical intermediate products in biotech and chemistry. Positioned under "Vertical Complementary Investments in the Value Chain" to strengthen Türkiye's strategic production capacity.

Innovation Hub

BioTwin360 TEKMER

Digital Twin & Sustainability Center (KOSGEB)

An innovation center developing digital twin, carbon-water footprint, and LCA-based sustainability solutions for OIZ companies — providing incubation & acceleration, technical infrastructure, and data & analytics services to startups.

AI Platform

GATE50

AI-Powered Smart Agriculture & Digital Twin Platform

An AI-powered digital platform to be deployed within BİOSB under real agricultural conditions, simultaneously optimizing water consumption and carbon footprint. IoT sensors and Copernicus satellite data continuously monitor soil moisture, microclimate, and production parameters analyzed via digital twin models — delivering real-time, data-driven irrigation recommendations and ISO-compliant carbon footprint reporting.
