40 YEARS OF BUSINESS DIPLOMACY AND THE VISION FOR THE FUTURE

For me, DEİK is not just a platform, but also a bridge that carries Türkiye’s entrepreneurial spirit to the world

Throughout its 40-year journey, DEIK has been the voice and representative of the Turkish business world on a global scale. From its inception to the present day, it has made significant contributions to our country’s economic vision with its structure that brings our businesspeople together on the international stage, paves the way for strategic partnerships, and strengthens business diplomacy.

For me, DEIK is not just a platform, but also a bridge that carries Türkiye’s entrepreneurial spirit to the world. What has struck me most at the meetings and events I have attended is the ability of businesspeople from different sectors to unite around a common goal. Witnessing this spirit of solidarity f ills me with immense pride and hope for the potential of our country. The collaborative environment created by DEIK most tangibly reflects Türkiye’s dynamism and global strength.

The work carried out over 40 years has not only yielded economic gains, but has also strengthened our country’s international reputation alongside the business world. At this point, DEIK’s success is based on the voluntary con tributions of its members, their visionary work, and their sense of responsibility towards our country. Inspiring the younger generation and making them more effective on a global scale is also of great importance for the future of business diplomacy.

On this occasion, I would like to congratulate DEIK on its 40th anniversary and sincerely thank all members of the board of directors, business councils, and stakeholders for their hard work.
