VISION 2023 Technology Foresight Project Chemistry Panel : VISION 2023 Technology Foresight Project Chemistry Panel Some difficulties indicated:
Unjustified prejudices exist that the chemical industry is always polluting.
The chemical industry depends on raw materials imports and this affects the industry’s competency adversely.
R&D with limited sources and without coordination does not have an important impact on the industry.
VISION 2023 Technology Foresight Project Chemistry Panel : VISION 2023 Technology Foresight Project Chemistry Panel Foresights:
Per capita consumption of chemicals is low. The expected increase in welfare will also increase local production with additional foreign investment.
The manpower and the industrial experience are important potentials.
The planned and existing oil and gas pipelines will create an advantage for the development of Turkish chemical industry both from energy and raw material point of views.
The present chemical industry has the potential of producing value added products from natural resources.
Relations with EU and geopolitical position can make Turkey a production center for EU.
VISION 2023 Technology Foresight Project Chemistry Panel : VISION 2023 Technology Foresight Project Chemistry Panel Proposed technological areas
Chemical synthesis technologies with alternative raw materials/processes
High performance organic, inorganic and composite materials production technologies
Environment friendly sustainable processes with high productivity
Flexible, compact production technologies for sustainable competition
Processes utilizing alternative energy resources
