The idea of establishing Teknopark İstanbul came into existence by Defence Industry Executive Committee (SSİK) decisions dated 8 October 1987 and 3 May 1999, numbered 87/6 and 99/10 respectively.

Teknopark İstanbul, established within the scope of Advance Technology Industrial Park & Airport Project (ITEP) carried out by SSM, is located on the Asian Side, Pendik Kurtköy, next to Sabiha Gökçen International Airport. Sprawling on approximately 250 hectares of land, Teknopark İstanbul gained the “İstanbul Technology Development Zone” status on 3 October 2009 in accordance with the Technology Development Zone Law numbered 4691.

(HEAŞ) and Defence Technologies and Engineering Inc. (STM), Teknopark İstanbul Inc. was founded on 4 May 2010.

Teknopark İstanbul will focus on the following selected target industries in Turkey’s pursuit to be one of the leading countries in advanced technologies:

1. Aviation and Aerospace
2. Defence Industries
3. Marine Technologies
4. Advanced Electronics
