The resource of our power constituted of utmost accord between the public, private sector institutions and non-governmental organization in our province and their ambition for corporation and consensual philosophy. Thanks to these opportunities, we can effectively use our current resources, potential and Dynamics of our region in order to provide rapid, healthy, rational and sustainable development of our province. Undoubtedly Konya is a shining star in the center of Anatolia with its diversity of economic activities, strong and rapidly growing economy. Konya is one of the leading centers and opportunity in the fields of industry thanks to its young and qualified labour force, its strategic geographical position located in the middle of a huge market, rich natural resources, its energy potential, strong industry structure, vast lands for investors, strong social capital and communication, incentives, support and exemptions for industrial investment. Basic crafts have shown development since Seljukians in Konya where there have been significant improvements in industrial area in recent years.Organized industrial zones, special industrial zones and small industrial sites those provide appropriate investment and production conditions for investors have a significant share in this development. In Konya, enterprises operating in the manufacturing sector are established in 9 organized industrial zones, 39 small industrial sites and 14 special industrial zones and have significant contributions to economies of Konya and Turkey. Besides 2 OIZ established in the provincial center, OIZs are established in the districts of Akşehir, Beyşehir, Çumra, Ereğli, Kulu, Karapınar and Seydişehir. OIZs are established on a total of 3.500 ha surface area and employ 37.000 employees in total. Furthermore, 2.526 enterprises are active in 14 special industrial zones established in 528 ha and employ 33.000 employees in total. 4 Aydın Nezih Doğan Governor of Konya Sectorial variety and number of workplaces of industrial enterprises in Konya are remarkable. Machinery, casting, food, shoemaking industries constituted primarily by automotive supply parts industry, agricultural machineries, milling machineries, flour milling machineries and metal processing machineries with rubber and plastic products, furniture, textile-garments, salt, aluminium, marble are among the leading industrial products. 5 universities of Konya have significant contributions on the industrial development of the province. Furthermore, Konya Technocity is active since 2004 and Konya Regional Innovation Center is under construction process and both centers constitute infrastructure facilities to increase innovativeness capacities of competitive sectors. Another issue that should be taken into consideration here is that the first Science Center with TUBITAK supports is still under construction process in Konya. Konya will be energy base of Turkey in near future. Our province has a significant potential in terms of renewable energy sources as well as it has significant reserves for conventional energy resources. In 2012, 60 million square meters area in the Karapınar district was declared as “Specialized Energy Industrial Zone” by the Cabinet. The region is located on a productive zone in terms of solar radiation, hence solar energy investors prefer the region due to the characteristics of the region such that its lower inclination, lowest precipitation rates and no altitude to be able to create shadow.The Karapınar district has 1,832 billion ton lignite reserves appropriate to establishment of thermal plant which is another advantage of the province. All of these indicate that Konya will host energy investments amounting ten billions dollars in a couple of years. Here, in case of the whole guidance is properly examined in addition to this summary, it will be understood that Konya is appropriate for industrial sector investments. Besides, “10 reasons to make industrial investments in Konya” is the appendix part of the guidance and a kind of summary of it. I thank you Technocity’s valuable academicians who are assigned to prepare the financed study in the context of direct support professional training program of MEVKA, personnel of the Konya Provincial Directorate of Science, Industry and Technology and other contributors. Besides, I wish that this study will support investments in service industry and hence lead to Konya and Turkey to reach their objectives. I invite potential investors to invest in Konya by ensuring that we provide them any kind of support to make them use important resources and opportunities for industrial sector investments offered by Konya. I thank you, sincerely. 5 INTRODUCTION The Investors Guide for Industrial Sector in the Province of Konya is prepared by Mevlana Developmental Agency within the scope of the Project No. 2011-33 “The Investors Guide for Industrial Sector in the Province of Konya” supported within the context of the 2011-Direct Operation Support Program and implemented by the Provincial Directorate of Konya in Science, Industry and Technology.
