About BIOTECHNOLOGY VALLEY The Biotechnology Industrialists’ Association (BİYOSAD) aims to drive human development via innovative, high value-added products and services and is establishing the Biotechnology Valley within the Biotechnology Specialized Industrial Zone (BİOSB) in Istanbul. This project aspires to situate Turkey among the world's leading biotechnology hubs. Biotechnology Valley, positioned in strategically located Tuzla, Istanbul, is a comprehensive initiative designed to create a specialized biotechnology ecosystem. The project aims to boost Turkey’s global presence in the biotechnology market through strong collaborations between business, academia, and the government. It spans 2.7 million square meters and will feature technology development zones, R&D centers, testing and calibration labs, patent offices, and specialized biotechnology schools. Our goal is to enhance global export potential by fostering domestic production of high value-added biotechnology products. We prioritize guiding industry and academia toward innovative collaboration, exploring nature’s possibilities in light of science. Our mission extends beyond meeting current demands to making a positive impact for future generations through sustainable and collaborative efforts. Biotechnology Valley is dedicated to enabling breakthrough technologies in the sector and hosting research that benefits society, adding value to both science and business. We are committed to providing a safe, innovative, and supportive business environment for all sector stakeholders. Join us as a partner in transforming Türkiye and the world into a leading biotechnology center. Biotechnology Valley is a strategic technology and innovation ecosystem established under the leadership of the Biotechnology Industrialists Association (BIYOSAD) to lead Türkiye’s vision in biotechnology across science, technology, and production. Bringing together the public sector, industry, academia, and investors, the Valley aims to build a high–value-added, sustainable, and globally competitive biotechnology infrastructure. Located in Tepeören, Istanbul, and spanning approximately 2.7 million square meters, Biotechnology Valley is one of Türkiye’s most comprehensive biotechnology initiatives. With its advanced R&D centers, technology development zones, modern manufacturing facilities, and shared infrastructure, the Valley is designed as an integrated hub for local and international companies operating in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology products, medical technologies, and advanced life sciences. Biotechnology Valley is not only a center for production and R&D, but also a living and innovation ecosystem with sustainability at its core. The project prioritizes energy-efficient infrastructure, renewable energy solutions, water efficiency practices, integrated waste management systems, and comprehensive strategies to reduce carbon footprint. This approach positions biotechnology production in harmony with nature and with a strong sense of responsibility toward future generations. The Valley offers a collaborative, innovative, and scalable ecosystem for a wide range of stakeholders, from start-ups and research institutions to global players and investment funds. Through its open innovation approach, Biotechnology Valley promotes knowledge sharing and co-creation, aiming to integrate Türkiye’s biotechnology potential into the global value chain. With its robust infrastructure, sustainability-driven framework, and international vision, Biotechnology Valley continues to advance with determination toward becoming a regional and global center for biotechnology.
