Cooperation for Efficiency and Effectiveness

Turkey has a considerable share in the current and upcoming financial assistance extended by the European Union. Therefore, there is a need for all the parties to bring their forces together to ensure an effective and efficient cooperation, to benefit from the technical assistance to prepare Turkey for full membership to the EU.

As one of the most active representative organisations of business in Turkey, The Turkish Foundation for Small and Medium Business (TOSYOV), together with Small and Medium Enterprises Development Organisation (KOSGEB), agreed to organise a conference to bring together all the parties to be involved in the technical assistance tenders and to provide an open medium for discussing future activities.

The conference will also act as a forum for the consultancy community to connect with each other to discuss opportunities for partnership for the upcoming contracts.
