Turkish Candidates to be Sent to Space Have Been Determined

Mr. Mustafa Varank, Minister of Industry and Technology, said, "Our (the first Turkish passenger sent into space) candidates have really been announced. I hope that our President will share these names with the public in the near future." In his speech at the official opening of the Health Sciences University (SBU) Keçiören Technology Development Center (TEKMER), Varank stated that a developed business and innovation ecosystem is one of the main problems for the welfare and development of countries. Stating that digitalization and the development in technology have changed all sectors, Varank said, "We have no doubt that this change will affect the health sector as well. New generation technologies have started to replace traditional health systems from now on. For example, an artificial intelligence supported image processing software has increased chest X-rays to 100 percent. He said he could interpret it with as much accuracy.
            Saying, "We need a much faster nationalization and localization," Varank put forward the following arguments, stating that the relevant change and transformation also creates an important economic value. To demonstrate that the dollar creates value. Yes, there is economic value here and this area is also very critical for the future of our country. In this sense, the number of health technology initiatives has increased rapidly in recent years. But we need much faster nationalization and localization. Varank has also recently completed a roadmap for smart life, health products and technologies in the Technology leadership movement. We have revealed our needs by analyzing the current situation in our country and in the world. We have set strategic targets to facilitate our country's adaptation to the changes in the health sector.
