Sustainable Urbanization Through Innovative Technologies (SUIT) Platform aims to develop new technologies for the infrastructure of smart cities in accordance with the principles of green deal and sustainability, and also aims to increase the innovative product development and export potential of Turkey’s rapidly developing smart city sector by increasing the level of preparation of these technologies.
The vision of the SUIT Platform includes developing new technologies for the infrastructure of smart cities in a human-oriented and sustainable manner. It is aimed to transform each of these technological developments into products that will be accepted by the society and can be used widely.
SUIT research program 2022-2025 contains the following projects:

SUIT was supported under the Center of Excellence Support Program 2021 Call. SUIT has created a synergy by bringing together universities (METU, ESOGU, Işık University), large companies (VESTEL Electronics, Ulak Haberleşme), leading R&D institutions (ODTÜ-GÜNAM) and SMEs (Kuartis, JeoIT) that are actively producing in our country. The plan is to transform this synergy into a long-term institutional structure that reduces Turkey’s technological dependence on foreign sources.
