Abstract

Purpose- Multiple transformations have begun with the shift from industry-oriented to information-oriented structures in the free zones.

Methodology- The study is in quantitative design. The study used the trade volume data according to the countries realized by the free zones
in Turkey in 2020.
Findings- While the analysis reveals the global trade of free zones, it also reveals results of the ratio of exports to imports of 17 free zones.
Conclusion- The results highlight the need for these regions to be integrated into high-tech industrial transformation policies.
