OK, that is a valid argument but also bear in mind that some of the "mission critical" components in the area of semiconductor-like technologies are already being produced in Turkey, even if there is a bit of foreign collaboration. If you are interested about these kind of things, check out...
Countries like South Korea and Japan started the semiconductors game at least 30 years ago. Heck, the Japanese were the inventors of silicone based semiconductors. Notice that when these people started there were only two Computer Engineering programs in Turkey. That train is long gone.
The 5G...
Why would anybody invest in a market that is highly saturated as consumer electronics? We missed the train in terms of integrated circuits and consumer-driven OEM production a long time ago. A country with limited resources like ours should focus more on upcoming technologies.
Several fields...
If only you can be more specific about what kind of hardware you are looking, but here are some companies (except the usual suspects like Arçelik or Aselsan) I know of from the industry:
http://www.mikro-tasarim.com.tr a ROIC company
http://www.polaran.com A consultancy firm who licensed polar...
As far as I know, big two of Turkish household appliances both use OEM components coming from East Asian countries, for applications such as television sets. There is a trend of increasing the production of hardware components though, especially in smaller start-ups since there are huge...
Turks are mixed much more than you think, there are 2 million Circassians which are actually hardcore AKP supporters, 5 to 8 million Turks from Balkan descent and approximately 4 million people from Crimean Tatar stock which believe or not all look very European, add them to the local stock of...
Still, never mentioned about anything related to AKP. What I try to explain is about unwritten rules of Turkish politics, which every Turk knows that losing İstanbul kinda tells something, where the election results are debatable right now. Even so, never talked anything about whether the ruling...
Did you even understand what I am talking about? Never mentioned anything about the majority in the parliement or never have I mentioned about the president facing with charges. This is not a parliamentary elections anyway to begin with so there is no majority involved. @Hiraa asked about what...
In Turkey where the GDP is very asymmetrically distributed three big cities plus several other industrial cities such as Kocaeli, Bursa, Gaziantep, Kayseri, Denizli etc. command huge amounts of funds compared to other cities in rural areas. This is important for several reasons: first one being...
This is purely about the economies of scale. Turkey is more than capable to design such a product.
If it is Smart-S Mk2 you are talking about, the subsystems are almost 100% Turkish, and Aselsan actually exports its GaN transistors as a subcontractor. Besides that, Aselsan already started...
You can't work for any of the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation companies (TSKGV in Turkish) if you are not a Turkish citizen. Heck, my friend from Azerbaijan (who has a CGPA of 3.7) couldn't secure an internship from Aselsan because he is not a Turkish citizen.
TSK trains roughly 300 computer scientists per year. They graduate from military academy and they serve for about 20 years, maybe more. Not all of them serve for cybersecurity though. So there should be around 60k officers who knows how to code dedicated for this purpose. Military academies...
China and India were larger economies compared to the West until the 19th century. It is not like West was rich so they can fund science and arts in their country, they become what they are today by encouraging science. Do you know why Turkey is not a member of CERN? Because govt refused to pay...
Do you have any idea what you are blaming people with moron? You accused me with having sympathy for a terrorist organization. %90 of the Turkish people would had given the same response I give.
I researched a bit about Güney Gönenç, he seems like a wonderful guy. Seems a bit leftist for your...
Sure, just call everyone FETÖcü you disagree with. You should also know this though, I always wanted to be a pilot for the airforce and even though my scores were great these FETÖ guys eliminated me in the interviews. So be careful what you are saying in real life, you might get punched in the face.
Lol I used to troll this place back in highschool, and it is fun to see that nothing has changed. There is a guy that does not know what a BVR missile is, there are lots of guys with no knowledge of English grammar at all and you guys still argue about the least important things about the deal...
