500 engineers, 3,000 employees
Yaşar Çelik, Chairman of the Board of Directors of OSTİM Enerjik, stated, “Our dream is collaboration between universities, industry, and the public sector. We always dream of this. EIF is an organization that attracts particular interest from the public sector and is held under the auspices of ministries. Besides being a fair, it is also a congress. Because of this congress, academics, the public sector, and the private sector come together at this fair. The unique feature of this fair is that it brings together universities, the public sector, and industry.”
Chairman Çelik noted that OSTİM Enerjik, with its 66 members, is a cluster structure with nearly 500 engineers and close to 3,000 employees, and said, “We act as an interface. We strive to increase the use of domestically produced machinery, equipment, or systems in the country, especially in relation to energy supply security and renewable environmental technologies. We are working towards better utilization of national resources and a more livable and better Turkey in the future.”
