TURKEY: CROSSROADS OF OPPORTUNITY
Turkiye-World Trade Bridge 2010

June 14th-20th in Instanbul

One of the most promising international business destinations of the 21st century isn’t European, Middle Eastern, or Asian.  Instead, it is all three at once. Turkey is a rapidly growing, business friendly middle income nation situated at the nexus point between three of the world’s great trading regions.  A NATO member since 1952, Turkey has had close ties to the United States for more than half a century and scores well on international stability and transparency rankings.    

Whether your interest is exporting, importing, investing or transshipping, Turkey is a location that demands attention.

  • With a population of 72 million and annual economic growth between 5% and 9%, Turkey is market hungry for raw materials, industrial and consumer products. 
  • A per capita income of $12,000 places Turkey firmly within the ranks of middle income nations and may reach upper income status within a generation. 
  • Foreign direct investment measures at $85 billion and is growing.  
  • Turkey has emerged as a major transshipment point for Central Asian oil.  Pipelines will eventually handle more than 1 million barrels per day.

In this region, the following sectors have the best opportunities for export or investment:

  • Agricultural
  • Water and Wastewater Technologies
  • Franchising
  • Education Services
  • Automotive Parts and Equipment
  • Defense Equipment and Services
  • Medical Equipment and Services
  • Information Technology
  • Telecommunications Equipment & Services
  • Electric Power Systems
  • Natural Gas Transmission, Distribution, Exploration, Storage and Training
