DAPEK’s investment seminar in Japan highlighted Türkiye’s industrial development potential, strategic investment opportunities, and the Eastern Mediterranean Petrochemical Cluster.

In Japan, DAPEK organized the “New Industrial Zone and Strategic Opportunities: Türkiye Eastern Mediterranean Industrial Zone Investment Seminar,” sponsored by Rönesans Holding, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), and the Japan Institute for Overseas Investment (JOI).

The seminar, attended by representatives from the Embassy of Türkiye in Tokyo, the Investment and Finance Office of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye, Rönesans Holding, Surbana Jurong, and DAPEK, provided a comprehensive overview of Türkiye’s investment climate and industrial development potential.

During the event, Japanese industrial representatives engaged in consultations on potential investment opportunities within the newly established Eastern Mediterranean Petrochemical Cluster (DAPEK), which operates under the authority of the Ministry of Industry and Technology of the Republic of Türkiye and is open to value‑added industrial investors.

The seminar also highlighted the success story of the USD 2 billion PDH‑PP plant and liquid terminal investment implemented within the zone. As one of the first investors in DAPEK, Rönesans Holding shared insights into its collaborations with internationally recognized industry leaders such as Sonatrach and Stolt‑Nielsen. These strategic partnerships were underscored as key factors positioning the region as an emerging global hub for production and trade.
