As a globally recognized center, IICEC conducts objective, quality economic and policy research on the future of energy and climate issues. In this context, IICEC has published the Turkey Energy Outlook (TEO) study that is also a first of its kind. This year, another major project of IICEC will be the “Turkey Electric Vehicles Outlook”, which will address the Electric Vehicles and e-mobility ecosystem in Turkey, with its growth prospects, in a comprehensive analytical perspective.”
