The First Akkök Holding R&D Summit Hosted by Akcoat

Akkök Holding operates globally with five R&D Centers specializing in chemistry and materials science. Akcoat, Akkim, Aksa, DowAksa, and Epsilon companies collectively pool their knowledge within these R&D Centers, creating a broad know-how reservoir that serves as a common motivation for the group companies.

The first Akkök Holding R&D Summit, held by Akkök Holding with its five globally recognized R&D Centers, brought together a comprehensive gathering. The summit aimed to maximize mutual interaction through informative presentations and discussion sessions. During the summit breaks, company representatives had the opportunity to network with managers from other sectors and share experiences.

Hosted by the Akcoat R&D Center, the inaugural summit took place in 2022 and will continue to be held biannually from 2022 onwards.

The summit focused on three main R&D themes: "Sustainability, Innovation, and Production Technologies." Participants had the opportunity to customize their experiences by following presentations and engaging in discussions on these themes. Additionally, attendees could revisit and reassess significant challenges they faced.

Participants from various Akkök Holding companies evaluated topics from different perspectives and had the chance to apply practical insights from other practices to their own innovative work.

Ahmet C. Dördüncü, President of the Akkök R&D Summit, stated: "With 70 years of experience and expertise, we are advancing our goals with technology and processes that drive development. As Akkök Holding, while growing with a sustainable development approach, we work for the best for our country and humanity through quality production and innovation. In this year’s first Akkök R&D Summit, we addressed the R&D and innovation projects developed by our companies through collective intelligence, ensuring that our knowledge is equally distributed among all our companies.
