19 June 2026, Türkiye: “The Value of Biosolutions: Growth and Prosperity by 2035 – Türkiye Edition”, developed in collaboration with Amsterdam Data Collective (ADC), was officially launched today at JW Marriott Hotel Ankara, bringing together representatives from government, industry, academia, and the broader business ecosystem.
This new report reveals the growing economic importance of biosolutions in Türkiye and their potential to become a major driver of sustainable growth, innovation, and resilience. The report is the first of its kind to examine the economic footprint of biosolutions specifically in Türkiye, combining global analysis with a detailed assessment of the country’s transformative potential across industry, agriculture, energy, and sustainable development.
The findings show that Türkiye’s biosolutions sector currently generates an estimated €4 billion in production output and supports more than 28,000 jobs. With the right targeted policies in place, that footprint could rise to more than €10.8 billion by 2035 and support over 75,000 jobs across the industry and its value chains. The report also highlights the sector’s strong multiplier effect, with each direct biosolutions job creating approximately 1.6 additional indirect jobs, underscoring the sector’s potential to contribute to export-led growth, high-skilled employment, and long-term economic resilience.
Biosolutions can help improve industrial efficiency, enable bio-based inputs, strengthen domestic value chains, support lower-carbon production, and enhance resource efficiency across multiple sectors.
The report also highlights how biosolutions can contribute to:
Strengthening Türkiye’s export competitiveness,
Supporting energy resilience,
Enhancing agricultural productivity,
Accelerating industrial transformation,
Enabling more resource-efficient growth.
“A strategic growth area for Türkiye”
Commenting on the report, Pınar Tunçkol, Country Manager at Novonesis Türkiye, said:
“Biosolutions are no longer only part of the sustainability agenda; they are increasingly becoming a strategic growth driver for competitiveness, industrial transformation, and economic resilience. With its strong industrial base, manufacturing capabilities, agricultural potential, and strategic regional position, Türkiye is well placed to benefit from this transformation. This report demonstrates how biosolutions, supported by the right policy and collaboration frameworks, can contribute to growth, high-skilled employment, export competitiveness, and sustainable development in Türkiye.”
Policy recommendations for enabling growth
The report also outlines several policy recommendations to help unlock the full potential of biosolutions in Türkiye, including:
Establishing long-term and predictable policy frameworks for the bioeconomy,
Supporting R&D, innovation, and pilot projects,
Enhancing coordination across industrial, energy, agricultural, and climate policies,
Supporting domestic production and value chains.
Today, biosolutions are used across more than 30 industries globally from food and agriculture to energy, industrial manufacturing, and biofuels and are increasingly recognized as an important driver of sustainable and competitive economic transformation.
