TEBD Project

“The TEBD Study Visit to Latvia and Estonia (from 27 to 31 January 2020) was useful for developing bilateral relations as well as for sharing experience and knowledge. The parts of the programme that related to the concept of ‘clustering’ and the experts who were introduced to us brought benefits in terms of gaining new ideas for our chamber’s future projects!”

“I attended the TEBD Study Visit and the ‘Connecting European Chambers’ event in Brussels, which was a great chance to extend my professional network and establish possible partnerships. (...) Being a representative of a non-EU chamber, I strongly believe these events provide valuable opportunities to find areas of cooperation regardless of political relations.”

“The Study Visit to İzmir was very well prepared and it went beyond my expectations. We had excellent business dialogues and presentations at the İzmir Chamber, and I was especially impressed with our visit to the İzmir University of Economics. I hope that companies in Croatia will take up the opportunities that Turkey can offer them!”

“I participated in the Study Visit to Brussels, in July 2019. Thanks to this Study Visit, I had the chance to learn about different aspects of the EU, and I also got a lot of useful information about EU Funds and the application process. I would highly recommend for those who haven’t done it yet to attend this kind of activity to broaden their vision!”

“Every hour of the Study Visit to Latvia and Estonia was arranged meticulously. The Latvian CCI and Estonian CCI were also very hospitable. The companies we visited, especially ABB Factory, were very impressive. We have learned useful information about the Baltic States, and we have seen that cooperation and collaboration is possible between Turkey and the Baltic States.”

“Following the TEBD Academy, I was able to share a lot of valuable information with various companies and clusters via our own Chamber’s activities. Furthermore, I was very happy to exchange and share useful information with my colleagues in order to develop new activities for our members!”

“As Ankara Chamber of Industry, we are glad to be part of the TEBD Project by which we have the opportunity to contribute to strengthening cooperation and collaboration between the Turkish and European business communities. (...) We consider the TEBD Project as an effective tool for us in establishing strong and long-lasting bonds with our business partners in Europe.”

“My biggest win from the Study Visit to Brussels was understanding how to manage EU projects. (...) TEBD gave us step-by-step guidance on where to start and how to communicate. Also, we were able to meet with colleagues who are from chambers in other countries. In this way, we could widen our business and cultural perspectives.”

“What I appreciated the most about the Study Visit to Latvia and Estonia (from 27 to 31 January 2020) was the opportunity to learn about the way of doing business in the Baltic States. I believe the networking done during the Study Visit will lead to establishing cooperation between Ankara Chamber of Industry and Chambers in the Baltic States in the near future!”
