We Aim to Increase Exports with Our New Business Mindset Model

In line with our country's 2023 Vision and 500 Billion USD export targets, the 2nd Annual Export Development and Market Research Association (İGEPAR) was held in Antalya between 6 and 8 March. Export Days Sales event was successfully held. 214 foreign businessmen from 15 different countries participated in the sales organization. Sharing his views on the event, İGEPAR Vice President and Radelsan Elektrik General Manager Mr. Sabahattin Karğın expressed the aims of the event as follows; As the Export Development and Market Research Association, we are aware of our historical mission. In addition to the contribution to be provided to the country's economy with such efforts, it is very important to add value to Turkey's brand image in a sense. During the event, the targeted sales figures were largely reached in the sales organization where 65 industrialist companies exhibited their products and our participating industrialists and foreign businessman guests left the event happily at the end of the program. With the participation of chain market representatives and strong players of the market from countries such as KAZAKHSTAN, LIBYA, IRAN, S.ARABIA, YEMEN, MOROCCO, LEBANON, ROMANIA, SERBIA, TUNISIA, the sales organization, which has become an Open Market, has enabled our industrialists to meet new faces and present their products to different markets. The importance of exports for our country and our industrialists is indispensable. Recently, while the economic pressures on our country have caused contractions in the domestic market and fluctuations in exchange rates, they have harmed the country's economy and our industrialists. We, who are people of industry and trade, have come to better understand the importance of exports at such a time. As an association, it has gained importance to emphasize the following at this point; In order to contribute to the economic recovery and development of our country, the importance of transferring export awareness to our exporting companies in a strong way and being applicable has once again shown itself. In line with all these conditions, as İGEPAR, we have aimed to eliminate the deficiencies of our members in the field of export by organizing programs that regularly explain the importance of foreign trade to our members every week and we continue our work in this direction. İGEPAR Chairman Fatih Yeşilyurt said in his statement about the future studies: "We are planning to organize new export-oriented sales organizations at different points of Anatolia. This planning model is called New Business Mindset. It has taken its name from the new business strategies and idea needs needed all over the world today. Our aim is to create an opportunity for our guests who will come from abroad to present our local tastes by opening local products and local catering stands as well as the products of our members. In this way, we aim to contribute to both Cultural Spread and the development of the people of the region. As the İGEPAR family, we invite all companies that aim to develop their export markets with the companies that will start exporting to participate in our activities. In our short-term plans for 2019 and the next 3 years, we will create open areas for 365 days and where the products of the association member companies will be exhibited in 3 different countries in 365 days of B2B work. We aim to actively include the products of our members in these areas. In this way, it is aimed to carry out continuous PR studies of the products of our industrial companies in various countries and to find new customers. " he said.
