Turkish Industry and Business Organization

TÜSİAD (Turkish Industry and Business Organization) is a voluntary, independent, non-governmental organization founded in 1971 to represent the Turkish business world. Headquartered in Istanbul, it brings together Turkey's leading entrepreneurs and business executives with the aim of promoting welfare through private enterprise. Its activities are aimed at creating a social cohesion based on competitive market economy, sustainable development and participatory democracy. On account of the institutions represented by its members, TÜSİAD has a significant representative capacity in the Turkish economy in many spheres such as production, value added, employment and foreign trade. According to its official figures, its nearly 4,500 member companies represent approximately 50% of GDP (excluding government), 85% of Turkey's total foreign trade (excluding energy imports), more than 50% of the non-agricultural, non-governmental workforce, and 80% of corporate tax revenue. TÜSİAD maintains a representative office in Ankara, international representative offices in Brussels, Washington D.C., Paris and Berlin, and networks in China, London, Silicon Valley, New York and the Gulf Region. It has been a member of BusinessEurope, the umbrella organization representing European private sector, since 1987. All of TÜSİAD's activities are carried out through six Round Tables led by members of the Board of Directors and Work Groups organized within the round tables. These activities are pursued with the substantial support and contribution of the Secretariat General, Representative Offices, and University Partnership Forums. The association bodies include the General Assembly, High Advisory Council, Board of Directors, Secretariat General, and Representative Offices.
