USTDA Strengthens U.S.–Türkiye Cybersecurity, AI Ties

Arlington, VA - The U.S. Trade and Development Agency will bring a delegation of cybersecurity and AI decision makers from Türkiye to the United States to build partnerships as Türkiye modernizes its cybersecurity infrastructure by incorporating advanced technologies to counter threats to critical infrastructure.

While in the United States from May 9-20, the 15-member delegation will travel to Washington, DC and Silicon Valley, CA, to meet U.S. companies and see demonstrations of cutting-edge U.S. technologies that will protect critical infrastructure from cyberthreats. Delegates will also speak with U.S. government officials on best practices for policy and regulatory frameworks for AI and cybersecurity; conduct a site visit of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology to learn about its work on cybersecurity frameworks, AI risk management, standards development, and applied research; and engage with panels hosted on Capitol Hill.

USTDA will host a public business briefing in San Francisco on May 19, where U.S. companies can hear directly from the delegation about upcoming commercial prospects and engage one-on-one with delegates to showcase their cybersecurity solutions.

Türkiye is rapidly developing its digital ecosystem, making cybersecurity for critical infrastructure is a top national priority. To counter increasingly sophisticated and frequent cyber threats, Türkiye is turning to AI and other advanced solutions to defend its critical infrastructure. As a leading developer and deployer of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and data protection solutions, the U.S. private sector is well positioned to become an essential partner in this effort.
