Stickers, jerseys and beer: 2026 World Cup Portugal’e could win up to 945 million Euro’

11/06/2026 by the Logistics TransportIn the the General Assembly

Although not the host country, Portugal can earn up to 945 million Euro’ from this income. 2026 FIFA World CupAccording to a study by the Portuguese Institute of Marketing Administration IPAM, which analyzes the potential impact of the tournament on the Portuguese economy.

The study points to a structural change in the economic model of football, arguing that its impact no longer depends on geography, but on the ability of fans, brands and media to amplify the event before, during and after the match.

The analysis, conducted by IPAM’'s Sports Marketing Research Unit, estimates an economic impact of between €378 million and €945 million, directly dependent on the performance of the Portuguese national team.

PortugalThe lowest estimate, which corresponds to the elimination of ’ in the group stage, is 378 million euros. With the team remaining in the last 16’, the impact in the mid-scenario could reach 561 million Euro’. If Portugal wins the tournament, it could reach 945 million Euro’.

According to the study, the projected growth is due to four main factors: higher purchasing power; the tournament is held in economically strong markets (United States, Canada and Mexico); World CupExpansion of ’ to 48 teams and 104 matches; and the consolidation of the digital economy as a new source of value.

IPAM’'s Sports Marketing Research Unit says the tournament could have the biggest impact ever on “Portugal’ in connection with a sporting event held outside the country.

Daniel Sá, managing director of IPAM, said in a statement that “Portugal does not need to host the World Cup’ to make a significant economic impact. What this study shows is that the value of football is no longer concentrated in the stadium or host country. Today, impact is being created through consumption, attention, digital interaction, and the ability of fans to grow effectiveness, ” said.

By comparison, the Euro 2016 won by Portugal’ generated an economic impact of €609 million. The research's maximum estimate for the 2026 World Cup’ exceeds this figure by more than 300 million Euro’.

World Cup spending can range from 40 to 3,500 euros per fan

The research also highlights “'s role as a new economic asset. An ordinary fan identified as “, the consumer of ”Ans, can earn between 40 and 70 euros during the tournament.

In contrast, fans with a high level of engagement, prioritizing digital, can spend up to 3,500 Euro’ through a combination of recurring consumption, multi-platform activity, social interaction and influence over other consumers.

Traditional consumption still accounts for the majority of the impact (approximately ), the digital component already has an estimated value thanks to publishing platforms, social media interaction, and user-generated content. Represents ’.

Household consumption, total impact By creating its ’, it is defined as the largest category, while with restaurants and food and beverage services and followed by advertising and media.

Broadcast and OTT platforms in the digital segment ’u, social media engagement %7’sini and “content economyPlatforms called ” also %He's making up his 6’.

According to the researchers, commercial cards and stickers (%5) and merchandising (%4) World Cup’ shows how “ mobilizes emotional and collectible economies” creates strong demand in certain segments and encourages instant purchases. the Bet (%6) is also identified as an important component, but is increasingly being integrated into wider entertainment and convenience consumption patterns.

Travel, on the other hand, is a measure of the total effect only. onstitutes ’; This reflects both the tournament's position outside Europe and the main conclusion that the economic benefits of the work no longer depend on physical participation.

Sá, “Football continues to create consumption, but growth increasingly depends on how that consumption is shared, interpreted, transformed into content, and amplified. Almost one in four euros generated by the World Cup’ now comes from digital, ” said.

In terms of IPAM, the 2026 World Cup also highlights strategic challenges for brands, media outlets and public authorities; These are the courses that will be valid when Portugal’ hosts the 2030 World Cup’.

The institute said that “Brands will need to move away from rigid planning models and invest in real-time activations. The media will need to combine television, broadcast and digital content. The wider economy can benefit not only through accommodation, retail and tourism, but also from new revenue streams linked to platforms, content creators and the attention economy, ” said.

The study also offers a broader course for the 2030 tournament: Hosting an event of this scale alone does not guarantee economic impact. The actual value will depend on how effectively it is activated before, during and after the competition.

Sá concluded his words as follows: “2026 World CupThose who know how to interpret the ’ will earn more than those who simply publish it. Perhaps this is the main result of the study: The value of the World Cup’ now lies not only in the event itself, but also in the way it is activated.”

Unemployment fell to its lowest level since May 2007, as employment in ’ hit a record high

02/06/2026 by the Logistics TransportIn the the General Assembly

The labor market rebounded in May, traditionally marked by the start of hiring in conjunction with the summer season. Number of people registeredThe number of employment offices decreased by 36,323 compared to April to 2.32 million, Lowest figure since 2007’ in MayAccording to data released Tuesday by the Ministries of Labour and Participation, Social Security and Migration.

Compared to the same month last year, unemployment fell by 134,162 people. The decline has spread to all productive sectors, but a slight increase was noted in the group of people who had not previously worked in any job.

Social Security membership continued to increase. An average of 231,975 contributors were added to the system during the month, with the total number reaching 22.3 million registered employees, the highest level since the start of comparable registrations. Seasonally adjusted figure that corrects calendar effectsAfter 64 consecutive months of growth, the number of employees reached 22.1 million.

Record levels of membership were repeated in different population groups, including youth, women, men, self-employed and foreign nationals. The second reached 3.36 million.contributors and currently all registered employees are approx. %They make up 15 ’ini.

The hospitality sector was the most job-generating sector in May, with nearly 66,000 more registrations than in April. Thus, the sector is approaching 1.68 million participantsIt is due to the increase in tourism and service activities depending on the summer.

Significant gains were also noted in administrative and support service activities; About 27,000 registered workers were added last month, leaving close to 1.5 million workers behind. Health activities and social services on an annual basisWith more than 77,000 registered employees, it has made the biggest contribution to employment growth.

The private agriculture plan regained membership in May, adding about 21,000 participants, although it still showed a negative balance compared to the previous year. In turn, the special program for housekeepersIt continued to reduce the number of registered members on both a monthly and an annual basis.

The rate of self-employment also reached a new record; 3.46 million people are self-employed. Nearly 46,000 self-employed have joined the system in the last 12 monthsespecially in professional, scientific and technical activities. By gender, Social Security’te recorded 11.7 million men depositing premiums and 10.6 million women depositing premiums. Women are all working people now. %It's 47.45 ’ini.

In terms of unemployment, the number of unemployed women fell to 1.4 million, the lowest level since 2008 ’ in May. Even so, it stays on a little over 900,000’ menRegistered as unemployed. Youth unemployment fell again to 164,955 people under the age of 25, the lowest level since the beginning of the series. The number of unemployed women in this group was less than that of men.

The largest sector-by-sector drop in unemployment was in the services sector, with 29,829 fewer unemployed than in April. Unemployment has also declined in industry, construction and agriculture.The only group that increased were people who had never worked in any business before.

Regional differences continued to be important. The Balearic Islands recorded the largest monthly reduction in unemployment and the largest increase in membership, with almost 48,200 more participants than in April. On an annual basis, Madrid takes a leading position in job creation in absolute numbersThere are 127,841 more registered workers than a year ago.

In May, 572,061 permanent contracts were signed for recruitment, which %He created 43.2’sini. Such contracts have increased both compared to the previous monthand in the year to date.

While solar power is growing at a record pace, AB’'s green economy is also growing. Which is the most profitable sector?

22/05/2026 by the Logistics TransportIn the the General Assembly

Renewable energy remains one of the main engines of AB’'s green economy.

Block-wide usage It's almost like %Reached 50’According to Eurostat’, countries such as Austria and Sweden are already meeting their energy needs. %It covers 90’ from renewable energy sources.

The largest share of green energy is wind () and hydropower () is the fastest growing source, although produced by 2008’de only %1’ to 2024’te It is solar energy that rises above ’.

Experts claim that there are photovoltaic panels It can even pass the booster.In terms of energy produced “in the next few years.

What is the most profitable green energy sector?

Recycling is also good for the environment and, apparently, for the economy.

According to new Eurostat data, waste management is the most profitable green economy sector in AB’.

In 2023, in just 10 years %An increase of 78’ generated revenues of more than 200 million Euro’.

This is twice the output of wastewater management and material recovery, the second and third most valuable activities.

Waste management is also the largest sector in terms of workforce, employing nearly one million people across the block.

Green jobs are on the rise: Where do most people work?

According to Eurostat’, jobs in AB’'s green economy grew by more than two million in less than a decade.

This number, which was only 3.6 million in 2014’te, increased to 5.8 million in 2023’te with an average annual increase of 5.5 percent.

Employment in the EU green economy ranges from environmental protection, such as wastewater and forest management, to renewable energy production and residential energy efficiency.

Is Environmental Leader – an important figure in future business strategies?

Energy saving ranks second after waste management with more than 800,000’ professionals, followed by renewable resources with 785,000 professionals. Wastewater management and the protection of soil and groundwater, where approximately 680,000 people are employed, in front of more than half a million employees, are also relevant.

Although Eurostat does not provide data on this, there is another role that plays an increasingly important role in green strategies and in a sense helps to connect the dots between different green areas: the environmental leadership.

They are responsible for overseeing the environmental impact of a company or project. Basically, they ensure that activities comply with environmental regulations by conducting audits and measuring emissions. They also recommend circular economy practices to increase sustainability and reduce carbon footprint.

Do green policies still have momentum?

AB’'s green economy has been growing steadily since 2014’ and average annual production growth is approx. %It is 8’.

Member states have almost doubled their production in less than 10 years, generating revenues of €1.33 billion in 2023’te.

The debate in the European ’ is now over whether this sector will continue to expand without momentum prior to the 2024 European elections, which, following a downturn for the Greens, points towards more conservative political parties with less environmentally friendly policies aimed at making AB’ more competitive.

The moment that summed this up was when the EU Commission, ’ in February 2025, implemented the Omnibus I package, which included a series of legislative amendment proposals for ’te, aimed at reducing and simplifying administrative and regulatory burdens for businesses, in particular environmental requirements. But it is a movement that some critics consider deregulation under the guise of simplification.

Last year, the EU Commission also suspended negotiations on a law called the Green Claims Directive, which was designed to stop green laundering.

Other moves in this direction included the shelving of a proposal to reduce pesticide use following mass farmer protests in Europe’ and the dilution of the Nature Restoration Act’, which sets binding targets for the repair of degraded ecosystems.

Million-dollar salaries, billion-dollar risks: The best AI talent every tech giant fights for

21/05/2026 by the Logistics TransportIn the the General Assembly

The emerging artificial intelligence industry, Silicon Valley, has created a job market unlike anything ’ has seen since the dot-com boom; But this time, there are perhaps only a few hundred people who are now capable of building advanced AI systems on a large scale.

OpenAI, Meta, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, xAI, Safe Superintelligence and a growing number of new AI start-ups are competing to attract an extremely small pool of highly skilled talent.

As a result, reports have emerged over the past two years about nine-figure wage debates, massive capital donations, and recruitment campaigns led personally by CEO ’s like Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman.

Some figures circulating online are controversial or unconfirmed; This article therefore focuses on high-level individuals whose recruitment value and market demand are reliably reported by major publications or personally endorsed by those involved in negotiations.

Below are five of the most famous artificial intelligence engineers and researchers in the world today in a specific order, whose stories reflect the different types of bidding wars that have arisen in the artificial intelligence industry.

by Ilya Sutskever

Few people in the artificial intelligence industry are as respected as Israeli-Canadian computer scientist Ilya Sutskever.

Sutskever, co-founder and former chief scientist of OpenAI’, helped realize the breakthroughs behind GPT models and was widely seen as one of the most important intellectual architects of the prolific AI boom.

Prior to OpenAI’, he worked at Google Brain’, a pioneer of Google DeepMind’, and contributed to some of the key inventions that helped launch the deep learning revolution.

Following the dramatic 2023 governance crisis involving the temporary dismissal of OpenAI’nin, Sam Altman’ as CEO, Sutskever eventually left the company and became the co-founder of 2024’te Safe Superintelligence’ (SSI).

SSI soon became one of the world's most closely watched AI start-up ’s, and although it has yet to launch a commercial product, 2025’te has reached a private value of approximately $32 billion (EUR 27.5 billion).

It was later reported that Meta’ was investigating acquisition negotiations involving SSI’, and that Mark Zuckerberg’ was aggressively trying to recruit company-related talent during his AI recruitment move in 2025’.

Last week, Sutskever confirmed in its statement regarding the high-risk lawsuit between Elon Musk and the creator of ChatGPT that it holds a $7 billion (€6 billion) stake in OpenAI’; This is the second newly announced OpenAI billionaire after president Greg Brockman said ’ owns about $30 billion (25.8 billion euros) in shares.

The value of Sutskever’in stems from an unusually rare combination of scientific credibility, pioneering model experience, and leadership ability. Many investors see him as one of the very few people who can lead an AI-scale research organization.

Mira Murati

Another notable talent leaving OpenAI’ was former chief technology officer Mira Murati, who left the company in 2024.

The Albanian-American engineer and business manager played a central role during the launches of ChatGPT, DALL-E and GPT-4’, which emerged as one of the public faces of the artificial intelligence revolution. He also previously worked as a senior product manager at Tesla’.

After leaving OpenAI’, Murati founded Thinking Machines Lab’, which quickly attracted the interest of former OpenAI researchers and became a new and important player in the AI start-up ecosystem.

Just like the Sutskever’in SGK’, the company has not yet launched a product, but shortly after its launch, it reportedly achieved a valuation of more than $5 billion (€4.3 billion). Instead of focusing solely on building fully autonomous artificial intelligence systems, human-artificial intelligence focuses on collaboration.

Last week, Thinking Machines Lab previewed “'s interaction models, which people are said to be able to fully control by talking and have local access to the user screen, among other things, making the interface experience seamless.

Meta has also aggressively sought to recruit outstanding researchers linked to Murati and the Thinking Machines Lab, as the newly formed company managed to bring together engineers working on ChatGPT, Character.ai, Mistral, PyTorch’, as well as other AI models and frameworks.

Murati’'s strategic value stems from the fact that it is one of the few managers that can attract high-level researchers on a large scale.

In the artificial intelligence industry, gravity itself is now becoming a competitive advantage; Especially as companies realize that their elite AI capabilities are increasingly concentrated in fewer leading-edge labs.

Alexandr Wang

Unlike Sutskever and Murati’, who both started at OpenAI’ and then left to build their own start-up ’, second-generation Chinese-American engineer Alexandr Wang came to prominence as a founder and then moved on to Meta’.

Wang founded Scale AI’ in 2016, a company that creates critical infrastructure for machine learning systems through data labeling, evaluation, and model evaluation tools.

Scale AI has become part of a productive AI ecosystem, working with governments, businesses, and leading AI labs. Meta’ does not have voting rights in 2025 %It reportedly bought 49 shares for $14.3 billion (€12.3 billion) and is valued at $29 billion (€25 billion).

Alexandr Wang has been appointed to the leadership role at Meta Superintelligence Labs’, the artificial intelligence division of Mark Zuckerberg’in.

The alleged document leaks show that his compensation is among the largest in Silicon Valley history, with a base salary of $1 million (860,000 euros), multi-million dollar bonuses, and equity of $100 million (86 million euros) to $150 million (129 million euros) over five years.

This move has been widely interpreted as part of Zuckerberg’'s attempt to accelerate Meta’'s AI capabilities after the company lagged behind OpenAI’ in public perception.

Unlike purely academic researchers, Wang has become valuable because of his operational understanding of how pioneering AI systems are built and scaled. His expertise covers infrastructure, datasets, evaluation pipelines and enterprise implementation.

As AI systems grow and become more expensive to teach and manage, this all-encompassing knowledge becomes increasingly important.

Demis Hassabis

Similar to Wang’a, Demis Hassabis started as a founder in the artificial intelligence sector before moving to a Big Tech company.

The British engineer of Greek, Cypriot, Chinese and Singaporean descent has spent years turning DeepMind’ into one of the world's leading artificial intelligence research institutions, famous for inventions such as AlphaGo, a model that mastered the ancient Chinese board game Go’, and AlphaFold, which predicted protein structures.

In 2024, the AlphaFold2 model solved a 50-year-old problem by accurately predicting the three-dimensional structures of proteins, leading Hassabis’ to receive the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

DeepMind was originally founded in ’, London, and was acquired by Google in 2014. This led to the creation of Google DeepMind’, which still operates today as the core AI division of Big Tech.

The exact final purchase price has never been officially confirmed, but reports suggest that, at a time when artificial intelligence is still a distant thought in the tech industry, 400 million $ (€344 million) to 650 million $ It shows that it was purchased at a price of between €559 million.

Hassabis’'s base salary has not been publicly disclosed, but as CEO ’ of Google DeepMind’, his total annual salary is estimated to be in the millions.

He reportedly won certain performance awards, such as a significant bonus of $3 million (€2.58 million) for his achievements in the Gemini AI project. Hassabis’'s estimated net worth is about $600 million (€516 million).

After the launch of ChatGPT’ intensified the AI arms race, Google unified much of its AI efforts around Google DeepMind under the leadership of Hassabis’in. The company suddenly found itself competing more aggressively with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, both in terms of talent and public relations.

Hassabis has a uniquely valuable role because it combines founding status, elite scientific competencies and organizational leadership.

As wage expectations in the AI industry have increased, retaining DeepMind’'s core researchers has become strategically critical for Google.

Andrej Karpathy

Andrej Karpathy completes the list as another co-founder of OpenAI’.

The Slovak-Canadian computer researcher became the head of artificial intelligence at Tesla’ after helping to set up the large artificial intelligence firm, where he led the development of neural network-based autonomous driving systems from 2017’ to 2022’.

Karpathy then briefly returned to OpenAI’ before launching 2024’te Eureka Labs’.

As it continues its independent training and venture initiatives, the company does not have any special valuation announced.

However, Karpathy’'s net worth is estimated to be between $50 million (43 million euros) and $150 million (129 million euros) due to his previous business.

Although not publicly associated with the biggest compensation rumors in the same way as other pioneering lab researchers, Karpathy remains one of the most strategically valuable AI figures due to its ability to shape developer communities and attract talent due to its historical impact on engineering culture.

UBS to Hiss Hundreds of Millions to Solve Credit Suisse’'s U.S. Tax Investigation

19/04/2026 by the Logistics TransportIn the the General Assembly

UBS Group AG has agreed to pay $511 million (€452 million) to conclude a U.S. tax investigation into Credit Suisse ’, which it acquired in 2023. UBS said it had nothing to do with the underlying abuse, and “ reiterated its zero tolerance for tax evasion.

The two-year investigation, launched before the merger, revealed that Credit Suisse’ helped wealthy Americans withhold more than $4 billion (€3.5 billion) from the U.S. Revenue Administration ’ (IRS) through at least 475 offshore accounts, according to the U.S. Department of Justice ’ (DoJ).

Details of the claim

Under the appeal agreement, Credit Suisse Services AG has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to help prepare fraudulent income tax returns and will pay $371.9 million (€328.8 million) as part of the agreement.

Credit Suisse AG, which owns ultra-high net worth and high net worth individual customers around the world, has conspired with employees, customers in the U.S. “, and others to deliberately help conceal ownership and control of assets held in the bank, ’ said.

In addition, Credit Suisse AG has signed a non-prosecution agreement with respect to U.S. ’ taxpayers whose accounts are held in the Singapore unit and has agreed to pay an additional $138.7 million (€122.6 million).

The DoJ noted that between “2014 and June 2023, Credit Suisse AG Singapore’ maintained undeclared accounts of U.S. citizens who knew or should have known that Credit Suisse AG Singapore’ was related to the U.S. and whose total assets were valued at over $2 billion.

UBS said it expects to cut costs as it will no longer need to allocate more money to manage the risks associated with Credit Suisse. However, in the second quarter, it will register a fee for the decision.

The DoJ added that the agreement requires both Credit Suisse Services AG and UBS AG ’ to fully cooperate in ongoing investigations, and “ to positively disclose any information it may later uncover about accounts relating to the United States.

Senate investigation confirmed

The investigation was launched in 2023 after the U.S. Senate Finance Committee found that ’ had helped Credit Suisse’ hide offshore assets from wealthy U.S. clients.

Senator Ron Wyden, senior member of the committee at “, said: "This agreement fully confirms the findings of my investigation, which revealed that Credit Suisse’ continues to hide more than $700 million overseas for wealthy Americans and violates their agreement to avoid investigation."

While ordinary Americans pay their fair share, ultra-rich and shady Swiss bankers shouldn't get a free pass to draft offshore tax evasion plans.

Credit Suisse is on its way to ’in integration

Switzerland’'s largest bank, UBS, bought ’te Credit Suisse’i for CHF 3 billion in March 2023 after its rival collapsed amid rising losses in U.S. government bonds triggered by the Federal Reserve ’'s aggressive rate hikes. Credit Suisse had already been weakened by a series of scandals, including allegations of money laundering, corruption and tax evasion.

With the help of the Swiss government, UBS benefited from this acquisition, which is also reflected in increased earnings in the global asset management and investment banking divisions. UBS stated in its February report that Credit Suisse’in integration is on track.

Sergio Ermotti, CEO of “, said: "We are confident that by the end of 2026 we will be able to largely complete the integration, achieve our financial goals and realize our growth initiatives.

UBS shares since the beginning of the year due to weak growth prospects linked to the Trump administration's tariffs %He's down by eight. However, the resolution of the Credit Suisse tax investigation is expected to ease investors' concerns after years of legal uncertainty.

Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Uraloğlu Niğde ⁇ de spoke

04/11/2024 by the Logistics TransportIn the Category: Logistics

Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, ⁇ To date, the number of vehicles passing through Ankara-Niğde Highway is 23 million 88 thousand. I can say that the total number of vehicles in Turkey is 30.5 million. Since 3 ⁇ 2 of the number of vehicles in Türkiye ⁇ was opened, it has been in traffic here until today. ⁇ said.

Uraloğlu, Niğde Municipality Cultural Center held at AK Party 7. In his speech at the Ordinary Central District Congress, he wished the congress to be good.

Uraloğlu, the voice of the oppressed nations, Gaza and Palestine, brought to the language that they are the sons of a nation that has always strived with difficulties throughout history and that this arduous effort continues today.

Drawing attention to the fact that they are surrounded by a circle of fire, Uraloğlu said:

There is a Russian-Ukrainian war on our north. Unfortunately, there is a year of oppression of Israel in Gaza. The only person who can say ⁇ no ⁇ in a clear and open form to this persecution is our President and the Republic Alliance. As Turkey, we are making maximum efforts to conclude this just case in accordance with international law and human rights and to ensure that Israel receives the punishment it deserves. We will continue to make every possible contribution to the establishment of lasting peace in the Middle East, especially in Palestine. We continue to show our humane attitude in the face of the conflicts in our close geography. Look, there is only one president who can meet with the two sides fighting in the Russia-Ukraine War at the same time, and that is our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ⁇ .

Uraloğlu emphasized that last week's terrorist attack on the TAI campus showed once again how disturbed they are by the strengthening of Turkey's dark forces that are trying to unite and unite the country.

Uraloğlu pointed out that Turkey, as in every field, has started a new era in the field of defense industry with its domestic and national works, and underlined that Turkey is working with all its strength to ensure security and stability in the region where it is located.

Minister of Uraloğlu: Turkey-Europe Development Path is Realizing

24/09/2024 by the Logistics TransportIn the Category: Logistics

Minister Uraloğlu, who is present to support Turkish companies in InnoTrans ⁇ , Europe's largest international transport technologies, systems and vehicles fair held biennially in Berlin, met with representatives of Turkish non-governmental organizations and business people at the Turkish Embassy in Berlin.

Uraloğlu stated that they were in Berlin on the occasion of participating in a fair that is important worldwide and said that Germany is one of the countries with which Turkey has the most intense and highest level of relations.

Uraloğlu draws attention to the strategic location of Turkey on the world map, ⁇ If you open the geography of our map to someone who does not know the world at all, he shows our country with his finger. Because this place is precious. We are really in such a precious place. We are in a really valuable geography from the east-west passageways to the historical Silk Road to the modern Silk Road.

Uraloğlu explained that they traveled to 67 countries with a 4-hour flight from Turkey and said that these 67 countries have a population of 1.5 billion, a national income of 40 trillion dollars and a trade volume of 10 trillion dollars.

Stating that Turkey is located on both east-west and north-south trade routes, especially the Middle Corridor, Uraloğlu said, ⁇ We also want to strengthen this position of Turkey seriously. We are investing in him, he said.

We built 32 airports in 22 years.

Minister Uraloğlu emphasized that they work day and night with all the teams of the ministry in an effort to serve the citizens and continued as follows:

⁇ In the last 22 years, we have increased the divided road length from 6 thousand 101 kilometers to 29 thousand 505 kilometers... While the vehicle ownership in Turkey was approximately 8 million, today the vehicle ownership has increased to 30 million. We also increased the average speed between cities from 40 kilometers per hour to 90 kilometers per hour. There were 26 airports in Turkey. We built 32 more airports in 22 years. It's really easy to say. So we almost built an airport every year and a half. The number of people traveling was 214 million last year, including international flights.

We think it's going to be $230 million this year. Istanbul Airport was 53 million as of the end of last month. We expect it to reach 80 million this year. What did we do on the other side of the railroad? It's about 11,000 kilometers. After we started in the early days of Cumhuriyet, we revived the railway move, which unfortunately we could not continue much. It has made the existing railway signaled and electric. We introduced our country to high-speed trains again. We built a railway network of 2,250 kilometers. ⁇

Minister Uraloğlu, we are working intensively on a Development Road Corridor that can reach from ⁇ Basra Bay ⁇ to Türkiye ⁇ via Iraq and from there to the whole of Europe. In order to strengthen the position of the country, we are in an effort to quickly eliminate its deficiencies in the transportation corridors. ⁇

Uraloğlu pointed out that they continue to work, that they do not only invest in infrastructure in Turkey, that they also start to produce rail system vehicles, and we produced our own electric passenger train, which goes at 160 kilometers per hour, for example, within our iron roads.

We were already building our locomotives. Now we are at a speed of 225 kilometers, I hope we will start this next year. We'll produce it. On the one hand, we are now planning to build 300-350 kilometers of roads. For example, we want to make a super-fast train between Ankara ⁇ and Istanbul at 350 kilometers per hour. ⁇

Uraloğlu, who also stated that there are 217 large and small ports in Turkey, how can we make our country truly equipped against all risks after Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war? How can we overcome those risks with little difficulty? We're thinking about it, he said.

⁇ Being in Germany is very valuable ⁇

Uraloğlu said that the number of mobile phone subscribers in Turkey, which has a population of 85 million, exceeded 90 million. Emphasizing that they are trying to meet the needs in 81 provinces of Turkey, Uraloğlu continued as follows:

We tried to touch him for God's sake. God has given us these things, and He has given us these things. How do we make our people's work easier? We have been in this effort, with good intentions... Here are the possibilities limited, the needs unlimited. I'd like to say I've never agreed to that. Is it not clear what a person's needs are? Is there no limit?

Absolutely there is. Aren't the needs of a country limited? Absolutely, in that sense, sometimes there are discourses at the point of a complete consumption policy. I'd say I don't find them quite right with that approach. Of course, we should have caught this point of Turkey much earlier. We have done very well in terms of technology, but I would like to say that we have more work to do. We're trying at that point. ⁇

Uraloğlu reminded that 3.5 million people of Turkish origin live in Germany and said that 10 percent of this is in the capital Berlin.

Minister Uraloğlu, ⁇ Dear brothers, it is very valuable for you to be here. For one thing, you have an effort at the subsistence of your own family and relatives individually. So you have a lot of sacrifices. Then it's about bringing foreign currency to our country. Then you have your efforts to provide employment here. These are really precious to us. You're here selflessly. And you represent our country, our Turkey, here in a beautiful way. I think your every move is the equivalent of a representation in that sense. ⁇ He spoke in the form.

Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu then answered questions from representatives of Turkish non-governmental organizations and business people.
