DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, Dr. Ates will examine how defence industries
  can generate economic value beyond their immediate military functions. Th
 e seminar will focus on defence-led capability accumulation\, highlighting
  how defence industrialisation creates technological\, organisational\, an
 d human capabilities that may spill over into civilian sectors and contrib
 ute to the wider economy.\n\nIn the case of Turkiye\, the talk will invest
 igate spillovers across six levels: firm-level diversification into civili
 an technologies\, supplier upgrading through defence supply chains\, skill
 ed labour formation\, regional industrial transformation\, national strate
 gic leverage\, and the growth of technology\, R&D\, and entrepreneurship e
 cosystems. The objective of the seminar is to explore how defence industri
 es\, when effectively connected to civilian sectors\, can become engines o
 f broader economic development and technological learning.\n\nDr Seyithan 
 Ahmet Ates is a professor at Ankara University of Social Sciences and as t
 he head of the Department of Economics. He has been actively involved in p
 rojects with leading international organizations\, including the United Na
 tions Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)\, the European Bank for

 e he has contributed as a consultant or country specialist. He earned his 
 undergraduate and graduate degrees from the Vienna University of Economics
  and completed his doctoral studies in Social and Economic Sciences at the
