Defence Turkey: Dear Mr. DEURSEN, first of all thank you very much for the interview. Last September you were appointed president of Honeywell, Turkey and Central Asia (Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan).  Can you please inform us about Honeywell Turkey’s new vision, structural plans, long and short term strategies?

Frans Van DEURSEN: Honeywell is one of the world’s largest and most advanced technology companies, with a focus on connected solutions that make industries more productive, efficient, safe and secure. We do this by combining hardware systems for a range of industries – from aviation and defence, to buildings and smart city developments, to industrial plants and refineries, to warehouses, logistics and safety critical operations – with innovative software and data analytics tools. Because we have been developing industrial hardware applications for more than 130 years, we understand how technology can be applied to improve operations in virtually any industry.
