Turkey
Aselsan, often referred to as Türkiye’s technology giant, represents a significant player in the global defense sector. Established in 1975, it stands as a pivotal asset of the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation. Holding a comprehensive portfolio, Aselsan excels in communication and information technologies, radar and electronic warfare, and various defense systems. This breadth establishes it as Turkey's largest defense electronics company.
Initially purposed to fulfill national defense communication requirements, Aselsan has matured into an indigenous products exporter. With 25.8% of its shares publicly traded on the İstanbul Borsa stock market, and the remaining held by the foundation, the company ensures robust institutional backing. Recognized internationally, it consistently features among the top 100 defense firms globally.
In recent developments, an investment round such as Post IPO Equity investment on 01 June 2026, featuring Ninety One as an investor, indicates significant market confidence and potential for strategic expansion.
