İOSBPurpose of Establishment
To ensure that the small and medium sized industrial businesses in Istanbul, particularly in the historical peninsula (Fatih-Eminönü), Kağıthane and Haliç, which pollute the environment and harm health with wastes, smoke, noise etc., thus harming the city and the population and constituting a negative element in urbanization, maintain their operations in a location in line with principles of urbanization, with full infrastructural support and without damaging the environment.
İOSBHistory
The Undersecretariat of Environmental Health, the Governorate of Istanbul and the Istanbul Municipality ruled to move these businesses out of town, after which persons in the industry chose to cooperate and requested land from the Metropolitan Municipality of Istanbul.

Master Plan with approval date 02.08.1985 and scale of 1/5000, providing 700 hectares of area to be assigned to 36 small and medium-sized industrial businesses operating on various fields and to the collective workplace cooperative was issued on 01.02.1985 with a nationalization decree and the Land Office carried out the procedures and assigned the land to the respective cooperate for the respective fee and the construction work was initiated.
While the construction work of cooperatives continued in Ikitelli O.S.B. site, the construction of main roads and infrastructure was initiated with State contributions under the responsibility of Ikitelli Organized Small Industrial Zone Entrepreneurship Organization established in 1990 as per the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Funds Regulation.
After the enactment of the Organized Industrial Zones Law numbered 4562 on 15/04/2000, the Legal compliance work has been carried out within a year and a Adjustment Protocol was issued and approved by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce on 03/10/2001, establishing the Entrepreneurship Council and granting Ikitelli OSB Legal Status.
