Turkchem Eurasia 2022 will offer many opportunities in one place

Cengiz Yaman, CEO of Artkim Trade Fair Organization, which has implemented many important projects in national and international standards, stated: "On our path to serve Turkey's Chemical Sector, which takes the pulse of Turkish Industry, we are today moving forward with the goal of making our country a global brand in the field of specialized trade fairs. Through the specialized trade fairs we organize, we contribute to the opening of sector stakeholders to international markets and the development of exports. At Turkchem Eurasia 2022, our buying missions program will also be in operation. The buying missions program, implemented to increase foreign trade momentum and promote export products targeting specific markets and countries, will provide participating companies with great potential as it has done at previous fairs," he said. Noting that they continuously improve themselves in line with the new generation of trade fair practices and consumer behavior that have changed with the pandemic, Cengiz Yaman said: "Trade fairs are environments that enable high-volume business partnerships both domestically and internationally focused; they have transformed into more global events where the same functions have moved to virtual environments, independent of time and space limitations. As Artkim, we continue to develop the services we provide. We do not limit our fair areas to product and technology promotion; through conferences, panels and workshops we organize, we transform them into a platform that sheds light on the sector's future. While providing participants with all conventional facilities in the most current and highest quality within the physical fair environment, through our virtual fair platform we produce innovative and pragmatic services such as wearable digital booths, product information sharing, business card exchange, and event marketing packages, thereby developing an entirely new formula for trade fair organization," he said.
