Summary
Twenty-six Turkish technology startups are exhibiting at VivaTech 2026 in France, where Ankara says they are pitching products and services directly to global investors through the Türkiye pavilion.
Fourteen of those companies come from the Turcorn 100 program, which backs firms seen as potential unicorns with valuations above $1 billion.
Industry Minister Mehmet Fatih Kacir said the government is supporting the delegation through the Industry and Technology Ministry and the Presidency's Investment and Finance Office to raise the profile of Türkiye's tech ecosystem.
Kacir said that ecosystem now includes more than 13,000 startups across 114 technoparks, including nearly 3,000 early-stage ventures.
The showcase fits Türkiye's wider 2030 target of building 100,000 startups and lifting the combined value of its Turcorns to $100 billion.
