Energy Shift Capital organised “Türkiye as a Bridge: Connecting Local Energy Giants with Global Capital” panel at DEF BODRUM | Digital Economy Forum in Bodrum.
The powerful session hosted leading figures of Türkiye’s energy sector — exploring how the country can accelerate international partnerships, attract global capital, and position itself at the heart of the energy transition. Türkiye sits at a unique intersection:
- USD90bn+ annual energy market
- A rapidly growing clean-energy ecosystem
- A geographic corridor connecting Europe, Middle East, and Central Asia
- Strong industrial capabilities in manufacturing, grid infrastructure, and digitalisation.

Global energy transition requires $4–6 trillion annually, and regions like Türkiye — with scale, geography, and momentum — will define how capital flows in the coming decade. Our panel demonstrated that Türkiye is not just a bridge — it is becoming a strategic anchor for global energy innovation and investment.
