The Digital Memory of Türkiye's Productive Power

Who are we?

Yuzde100yerli.com aims to document and make visible the success stories of Türkiye's industrial, technological, defense, and entrepreneurial ecosystems. July 2006 It began publication in [year].

Since our founding, our core mission has been to increase the visibility of domestically produced products, brands, and projects, to build consumer awareness, and to serve as the digital voice of civil society for the “National Technology Initiative”.

Our Vision and Stance

Yuzde100yerli.com follows a non-political publishing policy. Governments, parties, or political circumstances may change; however, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’The vital importance of domestic production in achieving the "Level of Contemporary Civilizations" targeted by [the organization/institution name] will remain unchanged.

In this respect, our platform does not compromise on the founding values of our Republic, nor on our principle of supporting domestic production without reservation. Our aim is to stand alongside every initiative that creates added value for a fully independent and strong Turkish economy.

“%100 Yerli” Kriterimiz ve Yayın Politikamız

The name of our website is "“Yüzde 100 Yerli“ is not a technical unit of measurement; it represents the ultimate goal we wish to achieve, namely, “Kizilelma“It represents "".

We are aware that, in today’s global economic order and high-technology manufacturing landscape, it is almost impossible for every component of a product—from its smallest screw to its chip—to be produced entirely within the borders of a single country.

We also approach the concept of "localness" from a dynamic perspective: Just as brands born in Türkiye and sold to foreign capital are no longer within our area of interest, global brands born abroad and acquired by Turkish capital fall under our definition of "National Strength.".

For this reason, we assess an initiative in line with our editorial policy according to the following criteria:

  • Capital and Property: Regardless of the place of production or country of origin, the ownership and management control of the brand must have been acquired by Turkish companies.
  • Intellectual Property: The product's technology, design, and patent rights must belong to a Turkish company.
  • Added Value: The economic benefits and profits generated from the product should remain in Türkiye.
  • Perception: When a brand or product is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is Türkiye.

Any initiative that meets at least one of these criteria—and adds value to Türkiye through its engineering, design, or capital, even if its components are imported—is considered newsworthy for us.

⚠️ Important Note: Yuzde100yerli.com, ürünlerin teknik yerlilik oranlarını (Örn: %51, %80) hesaplayan, denetleyen veya belgeleyen resmi bir otorite değildir. İsmimizdeki ifade teknik bir hesaplamayı değil, vizyonumuzu yansıtır. Resmi “Yerli Malı Belgesi” süreçleri, ilgili devlet kurumlarının yetkisindedir.

Message from the Founder

“This journey, which I started as a personal initiative in 2006, has today grown into a vast archive that bears witness to Türkiye’s production history. What began as a step I took because I believed domestically produced products were not being promoted sufficiently has now become a source of pride, as it tells the story of an ecosystem that has expanded from the defence industry to software and beyond. Our aim is not merely to report the news, but to keep alive the belief that ‘we can do it too’.”
— Erkan Alkanat | Founder
