The Ministry of Industry and Technology (Turkish: Sanayi ve Teknoloji Bakanlığı) is the cabinet-level government department of Turkey responsible for formulating industrial policy, fostering scientific research, and advancing technological innovation. Its mandate includes enhancing industrial competitiveness, promoting digital transformation, and supervising key agencies such as TÜBİTAK and the Turkish Space Agency. First established as the Ministry of Industry in 1949, the institution underwent various reorganizations—including operating as the Ministry of Industry and Trade following a 1983–1984 merger—before assuming its current title and structure in 2018.
