21st Century Life Style in Cesme Peninsula - ALACATI REGION
Joining European Union and expressing our will to work with them, emphasis should be given to develop a concept inducive of constant innovation and constant creativity. This means entrepreneurial companies will be shifting investment areas towards the field of converting technological inventions into economic values. It means diverting the investments such as buying and selling of land and buildings to other investments of more sophisticated nature - like development of high tech areas - technoparks - and to new ideas like venture capital for supporting the technological innovations.

Technology is becoming a state policy in Turkey. Such a decision is shifting exports to contain more higher valued goods and inventions. If persistently followed it will, in turn decrease the pressure of devaluations in order to keep the exports at required levels. Such a system will provide convenient working facilities for creative people, thereby increasing their innovative efficiency. In turn this acts like a magnet on companies - from the larger renowned down to smaller. In this way a fertile technological environment is formed. Self maintained growth and development will be the result which will surpass national boundaries. In shorter terms : A technopark has been established.

Some countries are small and therefore they have the natural advantage of closeness of people and resources. This fact is used very intelligently in some small advanced countries. Where there are cities with vast distance apart from each other like in the U.S.A. they create technoparks. Local authorities promote colleges, universities and high tech companies to come and settle in their territory by advertising very favorable conditions of rent, property or even taxes.

Technoparks are made of two components. The physical buildings and the non-physicals i.e. the innovation process paradigma. They are equally important in the long run. There are many examples in the world that have either one or the other that is not considered very successful. The secret of success lies to balance both. The innovation process paradigma is a kind of software of the technopark that leads to success or failure. Since 1992 we are in the process History of ALACATI technopark of developing this concept in close contact with the interested groups and highest authority of the government on science and technology- TUBITAK.
