DSO and TEI Launch Defense Industry Meetings to Boost Local Cooperation

The Defense Systems Organisation (DSO) and TUSAŞ Engine Industries, Inc. (TEI), two leading organizations in Turkey’s defense industry, have jointly launched the ‘Defense Industry Meetings.’ This initiative aims to strengthen the national defense ecosystem and promote indigenous manufacturing capabilities.

The forum brings together industry representatives, suppliers, SMEs, and large defense companies, providing a platform to share experiences and explore collaborative opportunities. Coordinated by DSO and TEI, the program focuses on supporting the development of local and national projects.

DSO leaders emphasized the strategic significance of expanding domestic manufacturers into international markets, while TEI highlighted the role of indigenous engine and technology products within the defense sector. Both institutions offer a stage for sharing innovative approaches and increasing joint R&D activities.

The Defense Industry Meetings are considered a crucial step toward reducing Turkey’s dependence on foreign technology, enhancing production capacity, and fostering sustainable partnerships. Participants anticipate that the event will pave the way for new collaborations and projects in the future.
