Providing information about the Aviation City Project, which is under construction near the capital Islamabad, the Commander stated that there are cooperation agreements with Turkey not only in military aviation but also in civil aviation and space studies, and that they want to work with OSTİM and OSSA in areas where cooperation is possible within this scope.
“Add OSSA to your roadmap”
OSTİM Chairman Orhan Aydın reminded that Pakistan holds an important historical and cultural position for Türkiye. Aydın said, "Our hearts beat differently when we think of Pakistan."
Highlighting the importance of collaborations with public institutions, Aydın conveyed the following message: “To fill these collaborations with content, it is important to work with people who are actually on the ground. OSTİM has the broadest ecosystem that can fill collaborations with content and respond to your needs. You should also add OSSA to your work roadmap. We are ready to support any kind of collaboration with OSSA.”
Aydın emphasized that OSTİM OSB can develop end-to-end solutions in many areas, stating, “With our clusters in the business and construction machinery, medical, energy, rubber, rail systems, and communication technologies sectors, we can meet all your requests and needs. Ostim Technopark and OSTİM Technical University are also ready to cooperate with you.”
