Having signed a memorandum of understanding in January, the two conglomerates also agreed on jointly forming a private equity fund and an e-commerce platform. The partnership plans to invest in a semiconductor production facility in Türkiye. The strategic partnership will focus on a number of sectors like ICT, energy, infrastructure, media and tourism in Türkiye, and the region. “This partnership is a result of our efforts to bring in long-term foreign investors to our country.
