This event will help strengthen CEE-Turkish business ties and highlight opportunities for increasing trade and investment. The combination of high added value, innovation, creativity, and extensive research is helping Turkish firms develop products, not only for local market, but abroad as well. The conference aims to help entrepreneurs from the CEED network get a better understanding of what it takes in to enter the Turkish market and conversely aims to help Turkish entrepreneurs enter new markets in Central and Eastern European countries.
