Rönesans Holding expands its cooperation with Japanese companies

Rönesans Holding President Mr Erman Ilıcak stated that existing partnerships and current negotiations with Japanese companies to establish new partnerships and collaborations are going exceptionally well: "We predict that our annual average revenue will reach 5 billion dollars in the forthcoming years. Potentially we can obtain more than approximately 1 billion dollars, corresponding to 20% of our annual revenue, from cooperating with Japanese companies in the Turkish, African, Balkan, and Central Asian markets."

Bringing the Engineering-Procurement-Construction-Financing model to foreign markets

Mr Ilıcak shared that Rönesans Holding plans new projects with Japanese business partners in different geographies with the EPCF model (Engineering-Procurement-Construction-Financing). He highlighted that with this model, Rönesans Holding could successfully bring the end-to-end business process to developing countries with strong Japanese business partners, increasing those countries' capacity to implement infrastructure and social reinforcement projects.

In addition, Mr Ilıcak announced various exciting current projects, including hospital construction and operation projects in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, a solar energy production facility in the Petrochemical Industry Zone in Ceyhan (Turkey) that produces green hydrogen, where investment is ongoing, and factories in various other countries that focus on the decarbonization of iron and steel. In addition, he noted that they are making steady progress with Sojitz, their partner in the Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital in Istanbul, with various hospital investments abroad.

Rönesans Holding President Mr Erman Ilıcak was awarded the highest state medal of Japan, 'Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon' by the Emperor of Japan Naruhito for his substantial contributions to promoting economic exchanges between Japan and Turkey.

Partnerships with Japanese companies

Mr Ilıcak stated that Rönesans Holding continues its growth in international markets: "We predict our annual average revenue will be 5 billion dollars. We can make more than $1 billion, equivalent to 20% of our annual revenue, from cooperating with Japanese companies in the Turkish, African, Balkan, and Central Asian markets. By combining our extensive experience and knowledge, plus our outstanding workforce in these countries, with the financing and technology resources our Japanese partners provide, we have achieved exceptional results in engineering-procurement-construction-financing (EPCF) and public-private partnerships (PPP). With this cooperation, we are highly competitive over a wide geography.”
