With EU-Türkiye relations a cornerstone of regional stability and prosperity for over six decades, this Forum Europe – Permanent Delegation of Türkiye to the EU conference comes at a pivotal moment to examine how both partners can renew and strengthen their economic ties in the face of global transformation.
Amidst profound geopolitical shifts and fierce strategic competition, the European Union and Türkiye must innovate to secure their economic futures. The EU has launched a renewed and urgent drive to bolster its competitiveness, strengthening its Single Market and industrial base to thrive in the green and digital transitions.
Concurrently, Türkiye is pursuing a comprehensive transformation agenda. Its 12th Development Plan (2024-2028) and Green Deal Action Plan prioritise a “twin transition” to a green and digital economy, aiming to develop competitive, high-value-added industries. With ambitious 2035 targets to significantly expand renewable energy capacity and a 2053 net-zero goal, Türkiye’s national strategy shows a clear parallel commitment to sustainable growth and industrial modernisation.
This Forum provides a critical platform where these complementary strategic agendas can converge. It will explore how a deeper EU-Türkiye partnership can build sustainable and resilient value chains, turning shared challenges into mutual economic dynamism. We will engage policymakers, industry leaders, investors, and civil society to identify actionable pathways, advance Türkiye’s integration into European value chains, and forge a pragmatic new model of cooperation.
This event will be held in person only, and will not be live streamed.

In a challenging geopolitical and economic landscape, this session will examine how to align the EU’s renewed competitiveness agenda with Türkiye’s national development goals. Leaders will discuss the strategic necessity for collaboration, framing the dialogue around the shared objectives within Türkiye’s 12th Development Plan and the EU’s own industrial and trade transformation policies.
This session will address the critical intersection of energy security, industrial competitiveness and Net Zero. It will connect the EU’s clean energy objectives with Türkiye’s National Energy Plan, exploring joint opportunities in renewable energy and green hydrogen. The discussion will also cover the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries, with a focus on pathways for green steel production, linking the availability of clean energy to industrial transformation and CBAM readiness.
This session explores Türkiye’s integration into the EU’s evolving mobility ecosystem. It will examine cooperation in the development of electric and connected vehicles, smart transportation systems, battery supply chains, and circular business models such as battery recycling. The panel will also highlight the role of public transport, digital infrastructure, and micro-mobility solutions within broader smart city frameworks, connecting these elements to both the green and digital transitions.
As urbanisation accelerates and the demands of climate adaptation grow, smart city strategies are becoming vital to sustainable development. This session will explore Türkiye–EU cooperation in modernising urban infrastructure through digital technologies, green building innovation, and smart public services. Topics will include retrofitting and construction, data and mobility infrastructure, and financing models for urban regeneration, in line with both the EU Green Deal and Türkiye’s Green Development Revolution.
How can the EU and Türkiye operationalise the Middle Corridor to create resilient trade routes? This session will explore the investment, diplomacy, and infrastructure frameworks needed, building on Türkiye’s proactive role in establishing itself as a key logistical hub. Panelists will analyze the corridor’s strategic importance for securing critical raw materials and enhancing connectivity with Central Asia, directly supporting the EU’s Global Gateway objectives for trade diversification.
