Turkish entrepreneur shares his success story
Founder of research and development company says he sold his wife’s bracelet to begin his career
A Turkish entrepreneur, who began his business with small money that he generated by selling his wife’s bracelet, is now a founder of a company, which exports defense industry products to six countries.
"We began work with my own little resources. The government's support boosted our morale. I could not do it on my own," Zafer Durusoy, the founder of Nanovak, said, as he told his company's success story to Anadolu Agency.
Durusoy's company, named Nanovak, was established in 2006 and it operates in Hacettepe University's technology development zone -- Hacettepe Teknokent.
The research and development company works in the field of defense industry and nanotechnology, and it produces equipment used in defense and space technologies.
Durusoy said that they developed the company with support from KOSGEB, a state-run organization which serves small and medium enterprises.
The KOSGEB provides soft or non-recourse loans to help establish successful and sustainable enterprises.
"This is really important. I thank KOSGEB. They provided interest free loans, they paid one of our employee's insurance," Durusoy said.
"We produced systems with vacuum that has not been known in society and we work on application of them in defense industry. We produce sub-devices which are used in testing the manufactured products. We do not work directly in production of weapons but we produce sensors," Durusoy explained.
First export
Space simulators are developed for Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) and Turkish defense company ASELSAN, Durusoy noted.
The company, which was established with small funds, became an exporter in 11 years, Durusoy said, and added that the company made its first export to the U.K. in 2008.
"Our domestic contribution to our product is around 75 percent. We import the rest of the goods," he said.
Durusoy noted that selling goods in the defense and nanotechnology sector is very difficult as there is high competition and excess supply.
Besides the U.K., the company, which has capacity to produce 30-40 devices per year, export their products to Egypt, Pakistan, Jordan, Iraq and Syria, he said.
Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek also praised Durusoy's achievement by sharing his story on Twitter account.
"Here is spirit of entrepreneurship," Simsek said.

While I'm happy for our beautiful and brilliant professor that she's found a place where her efforts are appreciated and valued, on the flip side, seeing so much top-class Turkish brainpower working for and serving the interests of the US, instead of Turkey, breaks my heart. Ankara needs to do more to stop brain drain and bring our promising scientists around the world back to Turkey.

SSM Deputy Undersecretary Mustafa Murat Şeker about MILGEM:
They did not sell us the sonar, but we developed it
When we developed the sonar, they did not sell us the transducer, but we developed it
When we developed the transducer, they did not sell us the ceramic, but we developed it
Now they do not sell us the ceramic powder, but now we develop it with Anadolu Univercity
About ANKA:
When we developed the armed ANKA, they told us: "we do not sell you FLIR anymore", but we developed it
When we developed the FLIR, they told us: "now we can sell you.."

Self sufficiency and efficient use of our resources is the key to success for Turkey. We should be able to produce everything we need from a needle to an aircraft all on our own. Just copy the South Korean economic and educational model and this country will be a regional superpower.

Turkey launches first solar cell integrated factory
ANKARA - Anadolu Agency
Turkey’s Renewable Energy Resource Zone Project (YEKA) inaugurated Turkey’s first integrated solar module, cell and panel production factory at a ground-breaking ceremony in the capital Ankara on Dec. 21.
The photovoltaic (PV) factory to be located in Ankara’s industrial zone will produce components for Turkey’s biggest solar plant facility, the YEKA project in Karapınar in the Konya province.
The factory will have 500 megawatts (MW) of ingot and wafer production capacity, 650 MW of solar cell capacity and 800 MW of solar panel capacity, Turkey’s Energy and Natural Resources Minister said at the opening ceremony.
According to Berat Albayrak in October 2016, the Karapınar solar project will meet the energy needs of more than 600,000 households.
In accordance with the rules of the tender, solar components are to be produced locally and the tender also stipulates that local engineers should constitute 80 percent of employment in the project.
During the ceremony held at the PV Cell and PV module Factory and Research and Development Center in Ankara, Albayrak said the factory that had attracted $500 million in private sector contributions was testament to the secure environment that Turkey has developed for investments.
“Turkey is ready for global competitiveness in the energy sector,” he added.
Turkey’s private sector had attracted over $100 billion in 15 years, said Albayrak.
With the help of new energy investment, Turkey will reduce its energy dependency, a goal that the minister said is highly important for the country having had an energy expense bill of over $55 billion per year on average for the past 10 years.
“A few years ago, the installed capacity was around 32 gigawatts (GW), currently Turkey is close to reaching 85 GW,” he said.
In March 2017, the Kalyon-Hanwha consortium won the tender bid for the construction of the solar facility at a cost of $0.0699 per kilowatt-hour. Now, this new integrated solar production factory will produce the equipment for this facility.
Also at the opening ceremony, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said the solar production factory would be finished ahead of schedule within 12 months.
Construction of the photovoltaic equipment production factory was agreed within 21 months following the signing of the tender agreement.
Yıldırım explained that clean energy and the increased deployment of renewable energy is part of the country’s goals to diversify its energy resources.
He said that over the past few years, the use of clean energy sources and energy production from these sources, which increased from 20 percent to 32 percent, was insufficient for a country like Turkey.
“It is important for Turkey to increase the number of clean energy projects, and more importantly it is also important to build research and development centers so Turkish citizens can avail of new energy technologies,” Yıldırım added.

Uzay teknolojilerinde yeni test sistemi
ODTÜ tarafından yürütülen "Parçacık Radyasyonu Testleri Oluşturma Laboratuvarı" projesi kapsamında, uzay çalışmaları için geliştirilen elektronik malzemelerin testlerinin yapılacağı "Saçılmalı Demet Hattı" sisteminin açılışı yapıldı.

Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (ODTÜ) Fizik Bölümü Öğretim Üyesi Prof. Dr. Bilge Demirköz, ODTÜ tarafından yürütülen "Parçacık Radyasyonu Testleri Oluşturma Laboratuvarı" projesi kapsamında, uzay çalışmaları için geliştirilen elektronik malzemelerin testlerinin yapılacağı "Saçılmalı Demet Hattı" sisteminin kurulduğunu belirterek, "Yer Gözlem Uydu Teknolojilerinin Geliştirilmesi (İMECE) projesi kapsamında Türkiye'de uzay için birçok malzeme elektronik araç geliştirilecek. Bu elektronik araç ve malzemelerin uzaya gitmeden önce uzaydaki radyasyon miktarına göre test edilmesi gerekiyor." dedi.
Demirköz, Türkiye Atom Enerjisi Kurumunun (TAEK) Sarayköy Nükleer Araştırma ve Eğitim Merkezi'ndeki Proton Hızlandırıcı Tesisi'nde yer alan "Saçılmalı Demet Hattı"nın açılışında yaptığı konuşmada, sistem sayesinde Türkiye'de uzay çalışmaları için özgün olarak geliştirilen malzemelerin testlerinin yapılacağını söyledi.
Sistem üzerinde yaklaşık 2,5 yıl çalıştıklarını dile getiren Prof. Dr. Demirköz, 13 araştırmacının çalıştığı sistemin 7 milyon liraya mal olduğunu ifade etti.
Demirköz, gelecek aşamada Avrupa Uzay Ajansının standartlarına göre testler yapmak için söz konusu sistemin geliştirileceğini aktardı.
Türkiye'nin yeni dönemde uzay çalışmalarına hız vereceğine işaret eden Bilge Demirköz, şunları kaydetti:
"Yer Gözlem Uydu Teknolojilerinin Geliştirilmesi (İMECE) projesi kapsamında, Türkiye'de uzay için birçok malzeme ve elektronik araç geliştirilecek. Bu elektronik araç ve malzemelerin uzaya gitmeden önce uzaydaki radyasyon miktarına göre test edilmesi gerekiyor. Çünkü uzayda çokça radyasyon var. Cep telefonunuzu uzaya yollasanız sadece 1 hafta dayanır. Bu sebepten uydularımızı uzaya göndermeden önce içindeki malzemeleri test etmemiz gerekiyor. Uzaydaki parçacıkların çoğu protondur. Bu tesiste de ODTÜ olarak biz bir ek demet hattı kurarak, bu protonları uzay radyasyonuna benzer şekle getirdik ve burada uzay için geliştirilen elektronik malzemelerin testlerini yapmaya başladık. Bu tesis olmasaydı, bu testleri yurt dışında yapacaktık. Bu tesisin Türkiye'de kurulmuş olması büyük bir döviz kaybını engelledi."
Demirköz, projenin Avrupa Nükleer Araştırma Merkezi (CERN) tarafından da kabul edildiğinin altını çizerek, "Yaklaşık 2 yıl önce Türkiye olarak CERN'e ortak üye olduk. Bu ortak üyelik kapsamında Türkiye'nin CERN'den teknoloji ve bilgi transferi yapma hakkı doğdu, bu proje bu hakkı kullanan ilk projedir. Proje ile yurt dışına olan bağımlılığımız azalacak. Daha önce yurt dışından almış olduğumuz malzemeleri Türkiye'de üreterek, onların radyasyon testini Türkiye'de yapabileceğiz." değerlendirmesinde bulundu.
Açılışa, Cumhurbaşkanlığı Başdanışmanı Prof. Dr. Davut Kavranoğlu, TAEK Başkanı Dr. Zafer Demircan ve TAEK Başkan Yardımcısı Suat Ünal katıldı.
