HIT-Data Center

In the digital age, a country’s global competitiveness depends not only on having data, but also on having strong infrastructures that can store and process this data securely, quickly, and efficiently.

Today, advancements in artificial intelligence, big data, high-performance computing, and cloud services have made scalable, high-capacity, and technologically advanced data centers a strategic necessity.

To ensure that Türkiye can continue its digital transformation across all sectors—from public services to industry, finance, and healthcare—there is a need for:

• Establishing high-capacity and secure data centers,
• Expanding hardware and infrastructure that can support artificial intelligence workloads, and
• Building an ecosystem that prevents idle capacity in IT hardware investments and improves overall efficiency.

Through the HIT–Data Center Call, the goal is not only to meet Türkiye’s growing data infrastructure needs in the short term, but also to build data center capacities that can support artificial intelligence and future digital technologies over the long term.

HIT-AI

Artificial intelligence has become a strategic element—alongside energy, technology, and capital—in shaping economic growth, public security, and national sovereignty.

From big data and cloud services to the Internet of Things and quantum computing, nearly all advanced technologies require high-capacity and secure data processing infrastructures when combined with artificial intelligence.

For Türkiye to deepen its digital transformation sustainably across strategic sectors such as public administration, industry, healthcare, finance, defense, and academia, there is a need for:

• High-capacity and reliable computing infrastructures that can primarily support artificial intelligence workloads,
• Investments in servers, storage, and network systems optimized for AI training and inference, high-performance computing, and data-intensive applications, and
• The development and delivery of value-added AI services and cloud-based solutions that can operate on these infrastructures with high quality and performance.

Through this call, the goal is to develop next-generation cloud infrastructures in Türkiye that can support AI-focused workloads, and to ensure that AI and other cloud services running on these infrastructures reach a wide range of users—from startups to large industrial enterprises, from financial institutions to public organizations.

HIT-Quantum

Quantum technologies are opening the door to a new era that surpasses the computational power of classical computers. From chemistry and drug discovery to finance and materials science, quantum computing is becoming a strategic tool for addressing problems once considered unsolvable. Therefore, quantum infrastructures are not merely a technology investment, but a critical foundation for enhancing competitiveness in key industries, ensuring national security, and strengthening scientific independence.

For Türkiye to become a global player in the field of quantum technologies in the coming years, there is a need for:

• High-capacity infrastructures capable of providing quantum computing services,
• A scalable quantum hardware and software ecosystem accessible to research centers, universities, and the private sector, and
• Value-added solutions and skilled human resources to be developed and nurtured on these infrastructures.

Through this call, the aim is to strengthen Türkiye’s quantum ecosystem, enhance national research capacity, and position our country as a regional leader in quantum technologies.

HIT-Industrial Robot

Industrial robots have become a strategic element for labour productivity, product quality, and global competitiveness. From automotive and white goods to defence, electronics, and metalworking, they have become core enablers of high-precision, high-throughput manufacturing systems.

Türkiye stands out as a compelling destination for industrial robot investments, supported by strong industrial base, young and dynamic workforce, strategic geographic position, and accelerating automation needs. Demand is on a steady upward trajectory: as of 2023, the installed base reached approximately 26,413 robots, representing a 15% increase relative to last year.

To deepen Türkiye’s industrial digital transformation over the long term, the country requires:

• Domestically developed critical industrial robot components that will strengthen the ecosystem (such as servo motors, reducers, and servo drives),
• High-volume robot manufacturing infrastructure,
• R&D centres and skilled workforce capable of generating sustained value.
