Selçuk Avcı was invited as a speaker to this year’s event and, as an architect working in the international arena both in London and Istanbul, he was asked to make a comparison regarding the progression of the sector in these two countries.

Avcı highlighted that, the same as it is valid for England, Turkey, too can experience economic growth and a rise in per capital income by increasing the value of its export products. He also stated that in order to succeed in this target it is mandatory to make improvements in the innovation and service sectors. He said “Innovation can only be developed by increasing the value of R&D and Design activities. If we compare Turkey and the leader service exporter of the world, England, it can be seen that the main difference is the importance and the value that is given to design and innovation.”
