Message from the President

TUDSIAD

The Turan World Association of Industrialists and Business People (TUDSİAD) was established on January 2, 2024, in ANTALYA, where its headquarters is located. The main purpose of its establishment is to promote the development of economic, commercial, and industrial relations, as well as cooperation activities between industrialists and businesspeople from the Turan World States and other countries. It aims to lead individuals and organizations working in these areas, foster economic and cultural unity, and provide communication and legal support to its members.

Structure

In line with this goal, it is planned to establish 11 Regional Presidencies, 81 Provincial Presidencies, as well as Branch Presidencies and Representative Offices in Foreign States. The process of establishing these units is currently progressing at an increasing pace.

One of our association’s primary objectives is to take encouraging steps in the field of Industry and Technology to foster cooperation between Turan World States and other countries, and to explore cooperation opportunities within the framework of solidarity with global economies.

Our association encourages all its members to take advantage of the opportunities and possibilities presented by the global competitive and cooperative environment, in order to facilitate the collective solidarity of businessmen, businesswomen, and young entrepreneurs, and to ensure they have access to the representation they deserve on both national and international platforms.

Meeting the demands and expectations of our members in this context and clearing the way for their activities is one of the tasks that TUDSİAD places special importance on.

It is an institution focused on industry and services, aiming for the development of our country while avoiding political engagements and baggage.

In this context, it prioritizes creating added value and providing services with experienced and productive teams that enable businesspeople to adapt to interstate cooperation and the global competitive environment.

Our members consist of young, dynamic industrialists and businesspeople. Therefore, our principle is to provide world-class quality services, offering solutions both domestically and internationally in a competitive environment, regardless of language, religion, race, education, or upbringing.

The rational use of industrial and technological resources and the increase of efficiency, providing high-quality services that meet the aesthetic expectations of the era, and transforming economic and commercial cooperation into a cultural meeting and communication climate through principled and planned work are the core motivations of our members.

A work ethic that prioritizes the interests of society and our state over personal interests is a principle shared by our members at the Turan World Association of Industrialists and Business People.

We take pride in having members who are experts in their fields, who have not only become the best in our country but have also made a difference in every international domain with the scientific and qualitative nature of their services, and who have succeeded in being the first without compromising their principles.

TUDSİAD is the bridge from Turkey to Central Asia and the world.
