A new chapter begins in Turkey. Join us for Exile’s inaugural event in the country, bringing together a market at an exciting moment and celebrating the growing global ambitions of Turkish champions across export and project finance. We open the day by exploring the momentum, opportunities and connections shaping what comes next.

A keynote presentation exploring the latest developments, opportunities, and challenges in export finance in Turkey, offering valuable insights into the market and its evolving financing landscape.

We open Türkiye 2027 with what Exile Group’s Intelligence platform is showing: volumes, sectors and counterparties, not the prevailing narrative.

The question is where Turkish markets are adjusting to the uneasy mix of policy, FX and geopolitics, and where the data is telling a different story. What is changing beneath the surface, which sectors and counterparties are driving it, and where are the biggest gaps between market perception and market reality?

The next generation of Türkiye’s major rail and motorway projects from Northern Marmara to the Middle Corridor and Bosphorus rail links is likely to require more than one source of export credit and risk cover. As individual agencies face limits on country or obligor exposure, sponsors and lenders are increasingly looking at multi-agency structures that combine ECA cover, reinsurance, development finance and local liquidity.

This session will examine how those packages are being assembled, including:

• UKEF and European reinsurance: how reinsurance can extend capacity and support larger ticket transactions
  
• Nordic and Austrian ECAs with Islamic and development finance: combining ECA cover with ICIEC and OPEC Fund participation when a single agency cannot take the full exposure
• Korean, Italian and local Islamic financing: how Korean export credit, SACE cover and local Islamic-bank liquidity can be combined within a single rail or motorway financing
• The next mega-ticket structures: what Northern Marmara, Middle Corridor and Bosphorus transactions could look like when multiple agencies, insurers and lenders share the risk

OECD Category 5 and a BB rating mean Türkiye transactions require more deliberate structuring with greater emphasis on premium, risk cover and local on lending. This session explores how banks, ECAs and other cover providers are structuring Türkiye tickets in 2027, and what it takes to get transactions through credit in a more challenging environment.

The discussion will focus on:

• Advance premiums: their impact on all in pricing, financing costs and transaction economics
• Local on lending: the role of Türk Eximbank, the Industrial Development Bank of Türkiye and local banks when direct ECA appetite is constrained
  
• Risk mitigation and cover: ICIEC wraps versus MIGA cover layered over ECA financing what each brings to the credit case and how committees assess them
• Execution in practice: lessons from closed transactions and the structures that have successfully navigated credit approval

Türkiye’s digital infrastructure story is moving beyond traditional operator capex toward hyperscale data centres. Rönesans’ partnership with Digital Realty signals growing ambition in the data-centre market, while the financing models used by mobile operators provide a starting point for understanding how ECAs could support this next wave of investment.

• Data centres: What does the Rönesans–Digital Realty pipeline tell us about power availability, land, permitting and the structures needed to make projects bankable?
• Mobile operators and ECAs: How have operators used export finance to fund networks and equipment, and can that financing playbook translate to data-centre development?
• What still finances: Where do project finance, corporate finance, ECA support and Islamic facilities fit? Is interconnection becoming the binding constraint, and what will data-centre offtakers need to support bankable projects?

Turkish EPCs, exporters and Turk Eximbank are already a first call for infrastructure, energy and industrial plant from West Africa to the Gulf to the Caspian. This session looks at how that corridor becomes a repeatable origination engine, not a one-off EPC story.

• Where Turkish export credit is winning (and losing) versus OECD peers and Chinese cover
• How to structure multi-sourced tickets when Turkish content is high but not 100%
• What Africa, the GCC and Central Asia each need from Ankara over the next 18 months

This panel will examine Türkiye’s contribution to strengthening industrial cooperation, resilient supply chains and security infrastructure. It will explore how diplomatic engagement, trusted partnerships and deeper industrial cooperation can reinforce collective resilience, sustain critical capabilities and support responsible cross-border collaboration.

• Diplomatic engagement and international cooperation: Strengthening dialogue and cooperation between Türkiye and international partners to support industrial cooperation and long-term resilience.
  
• Resilient supply chains and security infrastructure: Building trusted partnerships and diversified supply chains to secure critical capabilities and technologies, and to strengthen the reliability of essential infrastructure.
• The role of ECAs: Exploring how Export Credit Agencies can facilitate resilient industrial partnerships, cross-border investment and responsible trade, consistent with international commitments and obligations.

Türkiye’s 2035 ambition calls for 120 GW of solar and wind. But how much of that pipeline is being built and financed today at home and abroad? This session looks beyond the headline targets to the projects, sponsors and financing structures driving the next phase of Türkiye’s renewables build out.

• Domestic build out: What solar and wind capacity is being built and financed now, and what remains aspirational within the 2035 target?
• Outbound ambition: Where are Turkish sponsors, contractors and capital taking renewables projects abroad and which development and financing structures are proving transferable?
• What makes projects bankable: How do energy security, critical minerals, grid capacity, storage and interconnections shape the pipeline? And which financing tools are still working in practice?

After a day spanning geopolitics, credit, products, outbound work, defence and energy, this session brings it back to one question: what actually gets financed in 2027?

• What still clears a credit committee once FX, country risk and regional politics are factored in
• Which products and sectors attract more capital outbound EPC, energy, defence and which quietly lose it
• Where bank, ECA and corporate priorities align, and where the market still cannot deliver the tenor or cover corporates want
