Türkiye towards COP31

Türkiye is actively advancing its environmental transformation in response to growing challenges related to climate change, resource efficiency, urbanization, and industrial development. The country is developing and modernizing its environmental technologies ecosystem across areas including water management, waste management, pollution control, and other climate-related solutions.
The conference will provide an overview of Türkiye's environmental technologies sector, with a particular focus on water technologies as well as waste management and recycling technologies. It will bring together representatives from Türkiye's public and private sectors to discuss the current market landscape, investment opportunities, ongoing and upcoming projects, and potential areas for international cooperation.
As Türkiye continues to align its environmental strategy with global sustainability goals, this conference offers a timely platform for stakeholders to exchange insights, explore partnerships, and identify concrete pathways for collaboration. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of the opportunities emerging across Türkiye's environmental technologies sector — and the role international cooperation can play in shaping its future.
