At this critical turning point, our MÜSİAD, which focuses on production and exports, will continue to make tremendous contributions to the economy with its thousands of members. As is generally the case, the sector board meetings we hold in our Bursa provide a basis for collective collaborations and are also instrumental in intensifying the tradition of solidarity and consultation among our members.

The Ideas in the Boards Find Their Counterpart in the Field

The sector boards are the lifeblood and the backbone of MÜSİAD. The ideas that emerge in these boards genuinely broaden horizons, and we see this effectively in the field as well. We are developing discourse that can set the agenda. When the ideas we express here take shape in reality, our sectors and our country’s economy. By designing our sector boards together, we will make our work even stronger. We thank our Bursa Branch very much for its hospitality. It was an extremely well-attended and productive meeting. We will all see its results effectively together.”
