Mission

Erciyes Technopark's primary mission is to create new resources and to improve the utilization of existing resources of its stakeholders (shareholders, tenants, academicians, students, government 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, Erciyes Technopark 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 Erciyes 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 Kayseri and Turkey.

Vision

The idea of developing the Erciyes Technopark with Erciyes University to create a ‘Silicon Valley’.

Center for IT related research and development:

Currently aeronautical and space related electronics and IT is the largest niche for research and development in Turkey. In addition, being the capital, Kayseri is where all headquarters of government organizations related to these niches are located. ErciyesTechnopark will provide a secure environment for the development of products and services in co-operation with these industries, leading to decreased dependency on external suppliers. The Technopark will also be a platform for the development and application of these technologies in other sectors including government, education, finance, telecommunications and other emerging sectors with growth potential.

Platform of Internationalization:

Erciyes Technopark will be a catalyst to foster the internationalization of tenant organizations resulting in increased exports and the sourcing of new technologies, using European and international knowledge networks to which Erciyes Technopark will be associated. Erciyes Technopark will also be a gateway to access international resources, such as programs funded by the European Union, World Bank, UNDP, OECD, etc.

Sensitivity and respect for the environment:

Erciyes Technopark will aid the Erciyes community and its surrounding territory through increasing the quality of living by setting higher urban design standards which would include low density development, providing a significant amount of green space and sufficient parking area and by limiting its use to non-polluting occupants.

Arts, culture, technology and science composition:

Rather than being a sole industrialization area, Technopark will be an organization blending scientific and technological strengths of the participants with arts and culture.
