ABOUT

Established in 1952, İstanbul Chamber of Industry (ISO) is the most powerful representative of the Turkish manufacturing industry andhas been working for the development and competitiveness of the manufacturing sector in Turkey.

1st Industry Congress, held in 2002, formed a platform for dialogue on industrial policies and strategies with both macroeconomic and micro issues in mind for the sustainable competitiveness of Turkey. Motivated by the vast interest and firm response of the participants and the public, ISO decided to further this discussion platform in an annual base.

Guests, representing the manufacturing companies, especially SMEs, the public sector, the academia and the non-governmental organisations participate in the 7th Industry Congress where distinguished national and international experts are being invited as speakers to share their knowledge, experience and insight.

The aim of the Congress is to discuss the business environment and investment climate in which the Turkish manufacturing industry can acquire sustainable competitive strength.
