Those, who undertake important roles for the protection of our country’s interests in offshore, have been continuing their activities with full awareness to comply with the needs of the era. The contracting and procurement authorities as well as defence industry members have been continuing on one hand to follow their own agendas and on the other hand manage their needs by face-to-face contacts.

The Naval System Seminar, the first of which was held on October 21st, 2008 at METU Culture and Congress Center – Ankara, is held every year for increasing the synergy, cooperation and coordination between the contracting and procurement authorities, industry, universities, research centers and SME’s within the scope of the studies being performed for the development of naval vessel construction and sub-industry. (Performed in October every year since 2008 the Naval Systems Seminar is hosted by Undersecretariat for Defense Industries [SSM] and this year it is going to take place in Ankara at METU Culture and Congress Center on October 8th – 9th 2012.)
