Şehitkamil's digital trade potential
Şehitkamil is the district that holds the Gaziantep Organised Industrial Zone (Başpınar) and is the city's industrial and export engine. Textiles and ready-to-wear, food (pulses, pistachios, olive oil), chemicals, machinery and the automotive supplier industry make up the OSB's leading branches.
University and industry work closely together: GAOSB Teknopark, a partnership between Hasan Kalyoncu University and GAOSB, has been operating since 2021, and the expanding 3rd and 4th organised industrial zones are also in Şehitkamil. That makes the district a centre not only for production but for innovation and skilled labour.
Production and export capacity is high, yet a significant share of companies have a weak digital B2B presence: a multilingual catalogue site, marketplace operations and visibility in 'supplier' searches are usually missing. That gap is a direct growth opportunity for OSB companies.
Şehitkamil is at the same time Gaziantep's modern corporate centre: clinics, educational institutions, upper-segment retail and service businesses are concentrated here. Alongside B2B export, that opens a separate digital field for local service marketing (clinics, retail).
