Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Speaking at the Smart SME Eskişehir Digital Transformation Conference hosted by the Eskişehir Chamber of Commerce, Arıkan Otomotiv General Manager Ahmet Arıkan said companies must first identify and eliminate inefficiencies in their own factories, urging decision-makers to move quickly on digital transformation. Anot Group board member Eren Gönenli warned that SMEs' failure to keep pace with the transition will also hurt main industry players. The executives framed digitalization as essential for Turkish industry to preserve its global competitiveness. The remarks signal that automation and efficiency upgrades at smaller manufacturers will be a key theme to watch as the sector's supply chain adapts.
