Investment from Turkey makes an important contribution to economic growth, innovation and employment across the UK. In 2025–26, there were 25 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects from Turkey into the UK, creating 564 new jobs.

His Majesty's Government does not provide proactive support to British companies seeking investment opportunities in Turkey but generally backs the Turkish government’s ambition to attract FDI across a range of sectors.
