About Bilkent Cyberpark
Bilkent Cyberpark is a science and technology park, which is established jointly by Bilkent
University, which is one of the best universities in terms of scientific research and technology
development capacity in Turkey, and its affiliate Bilkent Holding, which has many companies
with software development and R&D functions.
Bilkent Cyberpark’s primary mission is to create new resources and to improve the utilization
of existing resources of its stakeholders (shareholders, tenants, academicians, students,
government, Ankara Municipality, etc.) by providing its tenants with an atmosphere that
creates synergy, the best quality and most cost-effective technopark services.
As a part of its mission, Bilkent Cyberpark will become a recognized center of excellence
for scientific and technological development by means of:
 Providing a new model for two-way interaction between the universities (particularly
Bilkent University at the first stage) and businesses on the Technopark, through the greater
involvement of academics, students and research staff. This will lead to the universities
becoming more entrepreneurial in teaching, research and technology transfer activities,
and the businesses becoming more innovative through the application of new technologies
and knowledge.
Creating a cluster of technologically advanced national and international companies,
research and academic institutions by bringing them together into an ecosystem that
promotes and creates new types of synergies between the scientific and the entrepreneurial
communities.
Encouraging the birth and growth of new companies and institutions that contribute
to increases in technology development and export potential of Ankara and Turkey.
With regard to these missions, in the Cyberpark there will be an incubation center supporting
the start-ups and small sized enterprises, consulting centers serving in international
marketing and financial resources, various R&D institutions, necessary infrastructure,
premises, socio-cultural, sport and recreational facilities.
It is foreseen that at the end of the 10 years of development period, there will be over
400 firms and more than 10 thousand qualified employees functioning in Bilkent Cyberpark,
which will be established on 558 thousand m2 of Bilkent University campus area with 200
thousand m2 closed space. At the end of this period, it is expected that a native annual
value of 1 billion USD will be created in Bilkent Cyberpark along with 9% of the total
developed value in IT sector, especially in software development. Again after 10 years of
development period, Bilkent Cyberpark, aimed to be an esteemed and prestigious brand
in international era, will most likely provide an export contribution of over 100 million USD
yearly, as well as supporting import substitution.
Cyberpark will contribute to the economical and scientific development of the country by
converting the scientific researches into technological products as well as preventing the
brain migration by offering attractive job opportunities to high qualified graduates and
researchers.
