TÜSSİDE was suggested by State Planing Organization (DPT) in order to create University and industry cooperation in 1971. Base of the facilities were begun to be laid in 1975 and institute regulation was published on Official Gazette in 1980. While valuable names like Sakıp Sabancı, Vehbi Koç, Nejat Eczacıbaşı from private sector participated in the establishment of the institute, Minister of Finance Adnan Kahveci, Chairman of TOBB Ali Çoşkun from public administration and Sabahattin Zaim gave great support from academical society.
In 1980's, when consultancy and educational companies were not widespread, TÜSSİDE established with the partnership of MEB and TÜBİTAK, organized many trainings in order to improve the competences of both public and private sector managers and by this way, met an important requirement of our country.
After the economical crisis in 2000's, there was a need of management guidance. In this term, TÜSSİDE began to execute institution special long run projects in direction of establishing institutional management system in public.
