Turkey offers countless advantages for companies looking to expand their business, thanks to its strategic location, a growing economy and a vibrant entrepreneurial community.
This week, during a BNI meeting, we had the pleasure of meeting Erkan Altuner, an expert from Turkey working in our same sector. His presence allowed us to gain deeper insight into the potential and opportunities that this emerging market can offer to Italian companies.
Turkey is a natural bridge between Europe and Asia, boasting a geographical position that facilitates trade and access to multiple markets. In recent years, the country has demonstrated remarkable resilience, with an economy that continues to grow and economic policies aimed at encouraging foreign investment. Moreover, the Turkish business community is dynamic and innovative, ready to collaborate with international partners to create successful synergies.
Here are some concrete examples of successful collaborations between Italy and Turkey:
- Fashion and Luxury: Benetton and Mavi Jeans joined forces to distribute products in Turkey, combining the prestige of the Italian brand with Turkish manufacturing capabilities.
- Energy and Environment: Enel Green Power partnered with Turcas Petrol to develop solar energy projects in Turkey, promoting sustainable energy.
- Technology and Innovation: Telecom Italia and Turk Telekom worked together to improve technological infrastructure, benefiting from each other’s expertise.
- Automotive: Fiat and Tofaş have a joint venture to produce Fiat vehicles in Turkey, facilitating access to regional markets.
- Tourism and Culture: Turkish Airlines and Alitalia collaborated to offer flights and travel packages between Italy and Turkey, boosting tourism between the two countries.
- Engineering and Construction: İçtaş Holding and Rizzani de Eccher joined forces on infrastructure projects in Turkey, combining the experience of both companies.
- Food Industry: Barilla collaborated with Yörsan to distribute Italian pasta in Turkey, thus entering a new market.
