Engineers Abroad Return to Türkiye: 220 New Hires at Aselsan in 2026
Published
Türkiye is taking a new step to bring qualified engineers working abroad back to the country. This initiative aims to close a significant engineering gap created by the rapid growth of the defense industry. The defense industry is steadily increasing its commitments, both to new projects and to export agreements.
According to reports, as part of this effort, 220 engineers joined Aselsan in 2026. Aselsan is one of Türkiye's largest defense electronics companies. Through this, the company aims to strengthen the human resources that will work on projects requiring specialized expertise. The return of engineers from abroad may also increase the country's technical knowledge base.
On the other hand, finding qualified engineers is an important issue not only for the defense industry but also for the country's other technology sectors. The realization of new projects and export targets depends on having a sufficient number of expert personnel. For this reason, incentives that facilitate the return of Turkish engineers working abroad are expected to continue.
In conclusion, this development is a notable example for the future of high-technology employment in Türkiye. As the story develops, it will be followed whether the initiative spreads to other companies and what its outcomes will be.
