TAI'S BUILDINGS IN TECHNOCITY
TAI rapidly continues its “R&D” and “Software” activities, which started in March 2003 at the Middle East Technical University (METU) Technology Development Zone known as “Technocity.” The R&D and Software activities, which were initiated with a staff of 30 people over an area of 300 square meters, continued at the new R&D buildings at Technocity.
The construction of TAI R&D buildings, which started in April 2004 in METU Technocity, was completed in September 2004. The TAI R&D buildings, which are established on approximately an area of 3500square meters, were put into service in November 2004. In time, most of the software development activities, which were carried out at TAI, were also transmitted to the buildings where R&D activities had started to be performed with 200personnel.
Consultant professor and student support from universities will increasingly continue for R&D projects, which will be carried out at Technocity. Thus, TAI will continue R&D activities with the universities in line with Technology Development Zone Law No: 4691 and bring theory and practice together in order to reach the final product.
