18 Turkey as Near-Shore Outsourcing Location Gartner view 2011: Key Findings Turkey is an attractive option for foreign direct investors due to its low cost of living, low labor rates and relatively low cost of travel to the country. There is also a relatively short travel time to Turkey from anywhere in Europe. It is therefore fast emerging as a low-cost destination to handle Pan-European outsourcing work. The government has plans to work with private organizations to promote IT education in The Turkish government has continued consistent investment during the past few years in information and communication technology (ICT). It also has introduced tax incentives to boost the local IT industry. Many Turkish workers speak English as well as the other European languages, German, French and Dutch. Recommendations Consider Turkey as an outsourcing destination for its convenient location and cultural compatibility with many countries. Turkey has made efforts with several countries around the world to boost economic and cultural cooperation. Consider Turkey as an outsourcing destination for low-cost software development services. 18
