Synopsis
In recent years, advances in information and communication technology have played a key role in transforming logistics, encouraging countries to keep pace with technological innovation to maintain and improve their market position. For this purpose, countries use innovation strategies as a sustainable competitive tool. Innovation is one of the critically important elements in increasing productivity. The ideas or products produced by countries using innovative technologies strengthen competition and economic structure, thus increasing living standards and welfare. For these reasons, evaluating both the innovation performance and logistics performance of countries is very important in terms of determining their competitiveness, analyzing the situation and creating a road map.
The aim of this study is to analyze Turkey's Global Innovation Index values and Logistics Performance Index values and to provide detailed information about Turkey's position in both the Global Innovation Index and the Logistics Performance Index. The study examines Turkey's position in the international market based on the index reports published by the World Bank and the World Intellectual Property Organization. Turkey ranked 37th in the Global Innovation Index ranking in 2022 and 2024 and 27th in the Logistics Performance Index ranking in 2012, showing the best performance level.
