Turan Koçyiğit, Chairman of Turkey – Ghana Business Councils

With online meetings, we had the opportunity to meet people and exchange ideas in the digital environment

The pandemic process has speeded up digitalisation, which was already present in our lives. We also achieved important things with it. I also experienced this in Business Council meetings. With these meetings, we had the opportunity to meet people and exchange ideas in the digital environment. We also came together with our Ministers of Trade, Foreign Affairs, and Finance through online meetings held by DEİK.

Again, in this period, we held our Executive Board Meetings in the digital environment without any problems, and our Ghana ambassador and our commercial attaché also took part in these meetings. Additionally, we held B2B meetings by bringing Ghanaian and Turkish companies together organized by the Association of Ghana Industries. Although these meetings were not as efficient as the traditional ways, they still ensured significant time and cost savings.
