Export Academy

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the letter forwarded from the Ministry of Trade to our Union states that the Ministry is carrying out projects to support women and young entrepreneurs with export potential in meeting their needs for knowledge, experience and new business connections; that the Export Academy - Women and Young Entrepreneur Exporter Training Programme, implemented in cooperation with UPS, is among these activities; and that within the scope of the Export Academy, 31 events, both physical and online, have been organized for entrepreneurs, attended by over 6 thousand entrepreneurs.

It has been announced that throughout 2024, in addition to the training to be given by Ministry experts on state support, leading private sector experts will also provide training on various topics, including online marketplace sales methods, e-commerce site infrastructure setup, logistics processes and customs legislation, and digital marketing; that Export Academy programmes with enriched content, in which participants can meet each other and establish new business connections, are envisaged to be held face-to-face in various provinces of our country; and that digital participation certificates will be given to participants at the end of the programme. Accordingly, it has been conveyed that the first Export Academy programme of 2024 was held in Gaziantep on 7 February 2024 and that the next programme is planned to be held in Ankara on 17 April 2024.

It is important that interested parties, especially highly motivated entrepreneurs interested in e-export/e-commerce and open to development in these areas, are included in the programme, and it has been considered appropriate to hold the programme with meals/refreshments in the Assembly Hall of the Ankara Chamber of Commerce so that participants can meet each other and network within the framework of the programme flow in Annex-1.

In this regard, I kindly request that those who will participate in the event programme, which will be held free of charge and open to the general participation of all business circles, apply at https://egitimbasvuru.ticaret.gov.tr/Ihracat and fill in the "confirmed participant form" in Annex-2 and send it to our Union (to [email protected]) by 5 April 2024.
