Abstract:
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the competitive dynamics in
Turkey's and the EU's service industries, focusing on Industry 4.0. It examines
Turkey's needs in the digital industries' service sector, considering variables like
investment, research and development, and technological developments. The study
also examines the influence of economic dynamics, geopolitical factors, and
differing policy frameworks on the competitive standing of both areas in the global
service sector. Turkey faces challenges in its digital service sector, including a digital
divide, regulatory complexities, cybersecurity threats, and a skills gap. To address
these challenges, Turkey needs a multifaceted approach, including streamlined
regulations, cybersecurity measures, and comprehensive training programs. By
addressing these issues, Turkey can position itself as a global player in the digital
economy. The study highlights Turkey's unique advantages, difficulties, and future
growth potential in relation to the EU market
