Qualified purchasing delegations will meet businesspeople at MÜSİAD EXPO

Stating that a satisfaction rate reaching 97 percent emerged at MÜSİAD EXPO 2020, held after the pandemic, despite the effects of the outbreak, MÜSİAD President Mahmut Asmalı said that MÜSİAD EXPO 2022, having shaken off the global effects, will give direction to global trade.

President Asmalı continued his assessment with the following words:

"Our fair held in 2020 revealed a satisfaction rate reaching 97 percent. In the past period, at MÜSİAD EXPO, the only fair held with a safe service approach after shaking off the effects of the pandemic, we hosted visitors from 102 countries in an area of 14 thousand square meters. At the fair we have been organizing since 1993, this year we will host more than 100 thousand visitors and participants from 124 countries in an area of 25 thousand square meters. There is very serious participation from Europe, Asia, Africa and the MENA region. Qualified purchasing delegations from many countries, above all countries such as Azerbaijan, Russia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Iran and Algeria, will take their place at MÜSİAD EXPO, the center of global trade. By conducting comprehensive and in-depth research at MÜSİAD EXPO, we invited company- and product-based purchasing delegations to our country. We foresee that the B2B meetings that will bring together participants and visitors from 24 different sectors will produce positive results. We are excited about this great gathering that will give direction to global and regional trade."

MÜSİAD EXPO will contribute directly to Türkiye’s 2023 vision

Referring also to the work in the field of commercial diplomacy, President Asmalı pointed out that a D8 Ambassadors meeting will be held within the scope of the fair. President Asmalı also stated that MÜSİAD EXPO will contribute directly to Türkiye’s 2023 targets.

The MÜSİAD President continued his statement as follows:

"MÜSİAD EXPO 2022 is at the same time the heart of commercial diplomacy. Through the International Business Forum and the various events to be held within the framework of MÜSİAD EXPO, Türkiye’s most comprehensive multi-sector trade fair, we will bring together diplomatic missions from all over the world, our representatives abroad, and the ambassadors, consuls and honorary consuls in our country with our businesspeople. This year an event will also be held at MÜSİAD EXPO with the participation of the D8 Ambassadors. MÜSİAD EXPO offers a great opportunity in line with our country reaching its export target of USD 300 billion in 2023. At the fairs held in the past, a contribution was made to the economy with billions of dollars of trade. At this fair too, we aim to contribute directly to our country’s 2023 vision with commercial connections at the maximum level."
