France & Türkiye : an economic alliance driving growth

Franco-Turkish economic cooperation has never been stronger — and the latest report from the Türkiye Committee of the French Foreign Trade Advisors (CCEF) confirms it clearly.



With more than 450 French companies established in Türkiye and nearly 200 production sites, France stands out as one of the country’s most active and committed international partners.


R&D investments now exceed €700M, demonstrating a clear ambition to innovate locally and contribute to building the future in Türkiye.

This partnership, built on 140 years of cooperation, is driven by a shared vision:


  • strengthening industrial production
  • supporting exports
  • accelerating innovation
  • and advancing toward a more sustainable economy


The outcome?


A French presence that continues to expand, a Türkiye that is emerging as a strategic regional hub, and a win–win partnership focused on growth.


Discover in our infographic the key data from the CCEF Türkiye Committee report — insights that make the France–Türkiye relationship a major economic engine.
