Dear Member,

In the letter dated 25.11.2024 and numbered 12856, sent to our Chamber from the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye,

The TOBB Trade Center (TOBB TC), currently operating in Chicago, USA, was established by our Union in 2021. The center provides value-added services to companies established in Türkiye to export to the US market and serves as a platform where all components of the system are gathered under a single roof.

TOBB TC began operations as a Turkish Trade Center with approval from the Ministry of Trade. Additionally, as of October 21, 2022, it was included in the support program under the Decision on Support for Foreign Logistics Distribution Networks (YLDA), also with Ministry approval. To date, the center has served over 350 companies and continues to do so.

A meeting titled "TOBB Trade Centers Target Market USA Summit" will be held on Friday, December 13, 2024, from 10:00–17:30 to provide information about the TOBB Trade Center's operations, the process and conditions for benefiting from it, and to learn about the experiences of companies benefiting from the center's services.

The event, hosted by Union President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, will feature speakers from Minister of Trade Prof. Dr. Ömer Bolat, Deputy Minister of Trade Volkan Ağar, the US Embassy Chargé d'Affaires, and experts from the public and private sectors.

During the event, participants will also have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with TOBB TC solution partners. A detailed program of the event will be sent to the companies that confirm their participation.

Our members who wish to participate in the event must fill out the form at https://anket.tobb.org.tr/#/anket/TTM-ABD-Zirvesi by Friday, December 6, 2024.

Best regards.
