NEW ROUTE IN GLOBAL TRADE: 60 TARGET COUNTRIES AND STRATEGIC YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Exports are undoubtedly the strongest lever in Türkiye’s journey toward sustainable economic growth. The Ministry of Trade’s goal of increasing the number of target countries to 60 is not merely a market diversification strategy; it is a strategic “range expansion” move that will strengthen the global competitiveness of Turkish products. As one of Türkiye’s most active institutions on the international stage, we amplify the voice of Türkiye’s young business community worldwide and create global opportunities for our members. Through the trade delegations we organize both domestically and internationally, we continue to support our members and businesspeople in expanding their international reach and increasing their exports.

Our China and US branches, established in line with our Ministry’s strategy, aim to serve as permanent bridges for Turkish entrepreneurs in these vast markets. The trade delegations we organize through these branches not only facilitate product sales but also pave the way for technology transfer and direct investment.

We are cementing our identity as exporters through institutional partnerships, playing an active role in international umbrella organizations such as the Global Alliance of Young Entrepreneurs (G20 YEA), the European Confederation of Young Entrepreneurs (YES for Europe), and the European Union Young Entrepreneurs Organization (JEUNE). This strong network, established with our local partners in the targeted 60 countries, will provide our members with a unique advantage in overcoming market entry barriers.

The synergy created by our Ministry’s new market- oriented incentives and TÜGİAD’s global network will make our foreign trade more resilient. With our representatives around the world, we will continue to work with all our strength to make 2026 the golden year of Turkish exports.
