Throughout history, one of the most important factors that have made trade centers attractive has been their location on the globe. For example, in the Middle Ages, routes such as the Silk Road, the Spice Road, the King's Road and the Fur Road were integrated with trade. Logistics was as important in international trade in the past as it is today.

Why would an investor invest in Turkey? I think the most important advantage for an investor to invest in Turkey is its unique geographical location. Turkey is a bridge between Europe and Asia. Turkey is surrounded by sea on three sides and has constantly developing rail and road lines. Turkish Airlines flies to more than 120 countries. Turkey's geographical location and the logistical opportunities it offers make investments truly cost-effective.

The second most important factor that makes investing in Turkey attractive is the qualified labor force. Skilled labor is a key element in terms of increasing production, productivity and production quality. Turkey has the second largest labor pool in Europe. The number of universities in Turkey is growing rapidly and this trend is increasing the number of university graduates in the country, transforming the young population into a skilled labor force.

The third most important reason to invest in Turkey is its growing economy. While Turkey's economy was the 18th largest in the world in 2003, it rose to 11th place in 2021 with record growth. Turkey's growth momentum is expected to continue in the coming years.

In conclusion, Turkey has always been an attractive country for investors thanks to its location as a bridge between Europe and Asia, its young and qualified labor force, and its growing economy. Thanks to the government incentives offered to foreign investors and the breakthroughs in international trade and technology, Turkey will be one of the world's most important trade centers in the near future.
