About Us
The shared mind of Kocaeli's industry
KOTSİAD is an independent, non-profit association founded to bring together the industrialists and business people operating in Kocaeli under a common roof.
Our association represents the business world of Kocaeli — the region's locomotive in production, exports and employment. By bringing together members from different sectors, we encourage knowledge sharing, collaboration and joint projects.
Since our foundation, we have aimed to strengthen our members' competitiveness through sectoral summits, training programs, foreign trade delegations and public-private partnerships.
By placing sustainable development, digital transformation and green production at our core, we aim to leave a stronger industrial legacy for the next generations of Kocaeli.
