As part of the "Century of Healthy Türkiye: Protective, Progressive, and Productive Health" promotion program, Technology Transfer Office, established at İzmir City Hospital and officially inaugurated with the signing of a protocol on January 9, 2025, has commenced its operations.

Prof. Dr. Zeliha ÖZDEMİR KÖKEN, and Head of Project Management and Support Department Batuhan YEŞİLYURT.
Established by Health Institutes of Türkiye (TÜSEB), this office aims to position Türkiye as a global leader in health technologies by integrating the field experience of healthcare professionals with innovative solutions. Operating under the approach of "From Idea to Product, From Product to Export," the office will spearhead transformative projects in healthcare, support the development of domestic health products, and strengthen the country’s presence in global competition. In line with TÜSEB's "Productive Health Model," Technology Transfer Offices have initially been established at İzmir City Hospital, as well as Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Etlik City Hospital, and Istanbul Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital in the first phase. These offices will serve as a significant starting point for our motto, "Idea to Product, Product to Export." The Technology Transfer Offices, which are planned to be expanded to other city hospitals and enhance Türkiye's innovation capacity in the healthcare sector, represent a significant milestone in the field of health. These offices play a crucial role in commercializing the innovative ideas of healthcare professionals and bringing them to global markets.
