International Business Forum (IBF)

The IBF (International Business Forum) is an international platform founded by MÜSİAD in 1995, bringing together businesspeople from the business worlds of 25 countries through an annual congress and the commercial activities accompanying it. Established on the principle of building a “Global Business Network” among Muslim businesspeople, this distinguished platform is governed by a board of governors (BOG) composed of the presidents of 42 businessmen’s associations from 25 countries, and has adopted as its principles the establishment of economic ties between countries, the creation of sustainable models of cooperation, the strengthening of communication and the acceleration of social and economic development.

The congresses, held each year under a particular theme, consist of many activities such as high-level panels, presentations of multinational investment projects, country presentations and real-life experiences directed at the business world. In addition, sector-based special business meetings and business matchmaking sessions are held with the aim of increasing the trade volume among participating businesspeople.

The International Business Forum is a platform founded on the principle of voluntarism, bringing together Muslim businesspeople from all over the world with the aim of invigorating trade, investment and cooperation among them.
