Trade mission to Turkey

The Hull & Humber Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce their trade mission to Turkey from 14th – 18th May, 2012. The mission will visit Istanbul and Izmir and will include as part of the official programme networking events and B2B meetings with members of the Turkish British Chamber of Commerce.

Turkey is the world’s 15th and Europe’s 6th largest economy. It is forecasted that Turkey will be the world’s 3rd fastest growing economy after China and India by 2018. Due to the country’s strong banking sector and structural reforms, Turkey has endured the latest global financial crisis and its economy is doing very well, recording a GDP growth of 11% (the world’s highest) in the first quarter of 2011.

The UK and Turkey have a deep-rooted, historical relationship and enhancing this relationship has been declared a priority by the UK Government. Turkey is one of the UK’s major trading partners and is also one of the most exciting and rapidly growing economies in Europe. UK exports to Turkey are worth £3 billion and over 2200 British businesses are currently doing business there.

Turkey’s favourable business environment and its perfect location, with easy and cost effective access to markets around Europe, Eurasia, Middle East and North Africa, provide numerous business opportunities across a wide variety of sectors for UK companies.

An attractive travel package is being organised by Good Travel Management, further details of which are available upon registration of interest.
