Domestic producers in Turkey have a high potential for this transformation, where the Renewable Energy Resource Area (YEKA) model will be used. We have the necessary infrastructures, and it is possible to reach the desired level easily and quickly with incentives and investments in terms of technology and technical accumulation. When this plan, which means transformation in many fields from public to academia, finance to R&D, production technologies to design, is completed, Turkey's lighting sector can now become a world-leading country that can offer its production to foreign markets. When we look at the economy of scale, creating a production of this magnitude means performing on the same stage as the world's giants. Therefore, the lighting industry has the chance to reinvent itself and bring a new face to Turkey.At the IstanbulLight Fair and Forum, we will meet with experts on the subject to guide this transformation and discuss ways to make this potential a reality."
