Abstract:
In general, investment support activities are accepted as important and essential elements of regional development agencies (RDA). Although in some cases, investment support offices (ISO) were established independently from RDA’s, general practice in the world is to organize ISO's under RDS's. Turkey, as an candidate country to EU, started a set of regional planning and development studies and promulgated a law numbered 5449, Establishment, Coordination and Tasks of Development Agencies. In this paper, the broad focus will be on the investment support office implementation which is brought by above mentioned law in Turkey.
