100-Year-Old Businesses

Dear Member,

With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the "100-Year-Old Businesses – Centuries-Old Plane Trees of the Turkish Business World" project has been launched by our Union in cooperation with the Economic Policy Research Foundation of Türkiye (TEPAV) and TOBB University of Economics and Technology (TOBB ETÜ), with the aim of revealing the historical accumulation of the business world's long-lived companies that continue to operate in different regions of our country and, as the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of our Republic approaches, documenting the achievements of our Republic and the multidimensional, rich history of the private sector in Türkiye through the eyes of the businesses that have witnessed it. 

With this project, it will be researched how the economic and social achievements of the Republic have been reflected in the activities of the private sector; regional and sectoral developments will be examined in the light of the opportunities and challenges our businesses have experienced over the years; and their contributions to the development of our cities will be identified.

For this purpose, three separate data and information compilation studies are planned in the first phase of the project:

- First, statistical, biographical and historical sources will be reviewed and documented in order to determine the impact on private sector activities in different provinces of Türkiye of public investments made in fields such as education, transport, infrastructure and the like within the scope of the development policies pursued since the founding of the Republic.

- Second, an inventory of the long-lived businesses we reach in each of our cities will be created, and, by conducting interviews with these businesses, the first step of an 'oral history' study that will bring to light the historical accumulation of the private sector will be taken.

- Third, data on the general picture of the establishment and activities of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges and the number of their members from 1923 to the present day will be compiled. 

In this context, a "100-Year-Old Businesses Notification Form" has been prepared at https://form.jotform.com/221004172646951 in order to create an inventory of long-lived businesses and to enable the notification of businesses known to have been established in or before 1923 and still in operation (including those with a later official establishment date and those that have changed sector or city over the years).

You too can notify us of businesses you know that were established in or before 1923 using the form at https://form.jotform.com/221004172646951 .
