Founded in the early 1950s, the holding manages more than twenty operating companies and production facilities across several countries. Through its industrial companies such as Aksa Akrilik, Akkim Chemicals, and Akenerji, Akkök contributes to high-value manufacturing, export-oriented production, and technology development within Türkiye’s industrial ecosystem.

The group plays an active role in innovation and technology development through its strong R&D infrastructure and collaborations across the materials and energy industries. Akkök companies operate multiple R&D centers covering more than 12,000 m² and collectively hold dozens of patents and design registrations, supporting the development of new technologies in advanced materials, composites, and sustainable industrial processes. These research and innovation activities help strengthen Türkiye’s technology capabilities while enabling partnerships with startups, researchers, and technology providers working on next-generation materials and industrial solutions.

A key initiative connecting Akkök to the startup ecosystem is Akkök Next, a venture investment platform focusing on advanced materials and deep-technology startups. Through this initiative and its role as an anchor investor in the deep-tech venture fund 212 NexT, the group supports innovative ventures developing material technologies that can transform global value chains. These collaborations allow startups to access industry expertise, corporate partnerships, and commercialization opportunities within Akkök’s global industrial network.
