Türkiye is quickly gaining traction as a high-value alternative to traditional offshore destinations — offering strong engineering capability, cultural compatibility, and cost-effective delivery.

With a young, tech-savvy population and universities producing over 75,000 STEM graduates annually, cities like Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir have become magnets for innovation and technology services. Türkiye’s blend of Western working culture, competitive rates, and a growing infrastructure for digital services makes it an ideal location for organisations looking to build high-performing nearshore teams without compromising on quality or speed.
