Chairman's Message

Bursa, with its dynamic population, thriving economy, historical values, and cultural richness shaped by hosting various civilizations, stands among the leading brand cities globally. Positioned strategically among key markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Russia, our city provides access to a population of approximately 1.6 billion within a 4-hour flight distance.
 
Bursa, known as Turkey's production and export hub, is a global attraction for investors due to its nearly $25 billion foreign trade volume, entrepreneurial ecosystem, innovative industries, and socio-cultural living standards. With 17 organized industrial zones and one free zone, Bursa is recognized as Turkey's industrial capital, playing a significant role in our country's food and agricultural production alongside its advanced industries, abundant agricultural resources, fertile lands, and high production capacity.
 
Thanks to its geographical structure and favorable climate conditions, our city cultivates agricultural products that are rich in quality, quantity, and variety. In the food industry, numerous companies operate in almost every field, excelling in production quality, particularly in sectors such as fruit juice, canned goods, paste, and frozen food products, competing at a global level.
 
As the Bursa Chamber of Commerce and Industry, we aim to showcase the economic and human wealth of our city on the global stage through new collaborations. In line with this goal, we have brought together numerous companies engaged in various production areas within the food sector through our UR-GE project, implemented with the support of the Ministry of Trade.
 
Our companies, under the corporate identity of 'Bursa Food Point,' have gained the ability to collaborate effectively, continuing to enhance their trade connections. As the Bursa Chamber of Commerce and Industry, one of the oldest and most robust organizations in our country with over 50,000 members, we will continue to support initiatives promoting mutually beneficial trade.
 
In this context, I hope the business meetings with our participating companies prove fruitful.

I extend my sincere regards.
 
Ibrahim Burkay
