Turkey

It is its situation between Europe and Asia, a large internal market with a young and growing population and the offer of skilled labour which make Turkey an interesting place for investors.

DEG has been engaged in Turkey since 1967. The current portfolio comprises around 170 million euros for more than 20 projects, including investments in the manufacturing industry, infrastructure and in the finance and service sectors. DEG sees potential especially in renewable energies, in the manufacturing industry and in the logistics, constructing materials and agricultural sector. DEG’s focus for companies in Turkey is on providing long term and risk capital financing.

At the beginning of 2011 DEG opened a regional office in Istanbul to be present in the region for Turkish and international enterprises and to accompany German companies on their way to Turkey.
