The Turkish Investment Summit is Adam Smith Conferences’ latest addition to the series of our flagship country-focused events.

Following the success of our investment forums for Ukraine and Kazakhstan, both of which have quickly become the most important must-attend country-specific events in Europe, we are certain that Turkish Investment Summit will follow suit.

The Summit is being organised with the full support of the Turkish Embassy in the UK and the EBRD, which is at present investing 45 million euros in the country’s renewable energy sector. We are in the process of confirming a delegation of Ministerial level representatives from the Government of Turkey, who will provide you with a first-hand insight into the latest Government initiatives to ensure that Turkey is an investment-friendly market at a time when the global economy has suffered a blow.

But true to the Summit’s name, centre stage will be taken by the business community – both Turkish companies and foreign investors who will present you with the latest updates on their current and future projects and set the scene for investments and the overall business environment. They will also share their view on the possible pitfalls of investing in Turkey. All this, coupled with our social events, where you can discuss your latest ideas with your peers, potential future clients and business partners in a more informal atmosphere, guarantees that you will leave the Summit armed both with valuable contacts and the most up to date as well practical market intelligence.
