World SMEs gather in Antalya
The Mediterranean Business Partneria, a business matchmaking event, will take place on May 15-18 at the Antalya Expo Center.
The State Planning Organization (DPT), the Treasury, the Foreign Trade Undersecretariat and the Small and Medium Industry Development Organization (KOSGEB) are expected to participate. The private sector will also have a heavy presence at the meeting, which will host 300 international and 1,000 Turkish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The main objective of the Mediterranean Business Partneria is to create new business opportunities between Turkish SMEs and their international equivalents to establish long-term cooperation. The event hopes to foster developing business contacts, partnerships and technology transfers on the SME, entrepreneurial, sector, institution and country level.
The Mediterranean Business Partneria will not only give an opportunity to Turkish SMEs to take part in international markets but will also increase Turkey’s export volume as Turkish SMEs expand their customer portfolio.
The event will also provide the opportunity for executive managers, importers, exporters and suppliers of raw materials to meet without any intermediary, to exchange opinions, acquire information on the latest innovations in the business world and to expand their business volume and market share. Direct business matchmaking meetings help entrepreneurs, investors, exporters and importers enter the global market and expand their present market share.
Along with direct business meetings, the Mediterranean Business Partneria will offer further networking opportunities via sector visits and tourist trips.
