DEiK

The Turkey-Germany Business Council is the leading non-governmental platform for facilitating trade and investments between Turkey and Germany as well as facilitating joint investments and cooperation in third countries. It serves as a forum for discussion and as an information hub on business-related matters. Founded in 1996 as part of the Foreign Economic Relations Board of Turkey (DEİK), the Council has a long tradition in fostering bilateral economic relations.

Germany and Turkey maintain extensive relations. Turkey has transformed into a strategic business partner particularly for German companies, contributing to innovation with its diversified economy, its position as geographical hub, a skilled workforce, increased R&D capabilities as well as a prospering start-up ecosystem. There are an abundance of interesting and astonishing facts and Turkish-German entrepreneurial success stories that uniquely connect both countries.

It is the mission of the Turkish-Germany Business Council to seize and amplify the unmatched opportunities of the Turkish-German relations to further deepen and accelerate cooperation on both sides. The Council is the Turkish counterpart of the German Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) and is represented by its Chairman Steven Young, President of Bosch Turkey and Middle East.
