The aim of Turkish Construction Technology Platform is to constitute a common platform for the different actors of the sector to vision the future of the sector by highlighting the new and developing tracks in the world, to facilitate the development of new strategies for the sector, to encourage and coordinate the research and development activities in the sector.

The productivity and quality in the Turkish Construction sector can be further improved by giving more importance to R&D and thus by increasing the number of research activities/projects. Hence it is important to establish new partnerships and/or joint activities to use the available resources in efficient ways and with maximum profits for all the participants and in consequence for the wellness of the sector. Thus, one of the major objectives of Turkish Construction Technology Platform is to search for the possibilities to raise funds for such activities, to inform the sector about such national and international funds, especially about EU Framework Programs and to set new relations/possibilities for the sector for further international collaborations.

The increasing number of large scale construction activities both in Turkey and in abroad realized by Turkish Companies should not only be regarded as technological activities requiring new devices, materials, techniques but also as a medium affecting the environment, social relations, culture and etc. Therefore, it should be realized that “construction activity” is beyond to be a technological implementation but it covers all the acts to build environments affecting the societies in direct or indirect ways.
