BOA Cluster

The BOA (Connected and Autonomous Vehicles) Cluster is a strategic collaboration platform that aims to create a sustainable, competitive, and innovative ecosystem in the field of connected and autonomous vehicle technologies by bringing together stakeholders operating in the mobility, software, and electronics sectors, primarily in the Marmara Region. The cluster aims to develop long-term structural partnerships, foster joint action capabilities, and establish a strong coordination mechanism between the public sector, universities, and industry.

One of the core priorities of the BOA Cluster is to increase shared awareness, accelerate infrastructure development processes, and raise the regional preparedness level by creating an inclusive working model among all participating stakeholders. In this regard, close collaborations are being carried out with public institutions; joint initiatives are being implemented to strengthen testing, verification, and pilot application infrastructures.

Another important goal of the cluster structure is the development of qualified human resources to meet the demands of the labor market. Through training programs, skill development activities, and expertise-focused studies that support the competency areas needed by the sector, BOA aims to contribute to the sustainable growth of companies and startups.

The BOA Cluster also develops structures that strengthen university-industry collaborations, make sector networks visible through digital mapping tools, and encourage joint project production, by addressing the value chains of the firms included in the cluster from a holistic perspective. This approach lays the groundwork for the emergence of new business models that increase the competitiveness of firms on a national and international scale.

Supporting the development of high-technology focused products, BOA plays a strategic role in increasing production capacity, encouraging entrepreneurship, and accelerating productivity-focused transformation processes in industry. The cluster structure, which centers on environmentally and socially responsible sustainable mobility solutions, aims to strengthen the position of the Marmara Region and Turkey in global markets, increase export potential, and create long-term economic value.
