"We will raise the chemical industry's export ranking"

In his remarks, Artkim Fuarcılık General Manager Cengiz Yaman said, "The fairs we opened today continue to be Turkey's chemical industry's gateway to the world. We continue to bring together the strength of the Turkish chemical sector with sector professionals from within and outside the country. At our fairs, you will share your investments, your years of experience and the products you have created through your R&D with thousands of participants from Turkey and all corners of the world. With our fairs lasting three days, we will raise the ranking of the chemical industry, which occupies an extremely large area in the world economy and was the second most exporting sector in Turkey in 2020, even higher. Considering that three days is very short for conveying developments in the chemical sector, which is essential for every area of life from automotive to agriculture, construction to food and health, we have designed our fairs this year in a hybrid structure, both physical and virtual. With our fairs remaining open virtually for 3 months, the reach of the sector will expand further, and visitors from all corners of the world will be able to visit our fairs online at any time they wish and find solution partners for themselves," he said.

Will be broadcast on Turkchem TV YouTube channel

The "Surface Treatment Technologies Summit," organized in collaboration with TÜYİDER within the scope of the fair and aimed at adding new value to the sector, has transformed the fair into a comprehensive and major sectoral gathering. The fair will also host conferences and panels over three days with important national and international representatives of the sector as speakers. The conferences and panels, where sector professionals will share their experiences with participants, will turn into a sectoral summit where the sector's future expectations and problems will be discussed. The panels to be held during the fairs, which will also open new areas for sector leaders to increase their production targets and develop their supply chains, will be broadcast live on Turkchem TV YouTube channel, the single broadcast platform of the chemical industry.
