Bursa Chamber of Commerce and Industry as the umbrella organization of Bursa’s economy, realized the Global Fair Agency project through Turkey's export-oriented development goals and with the vision to gain exporter identity to SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises). BTSO ensures for its members to take a part in the international arena through this project.
In 2014, nearly 1.000 of our chamber members attended to the exhibitions held in more than 10 countries in 4 continents and this success continued with nearly 1.500 of chamber members attending 31 fair organizations in total.
Continuing its operations with an increasing performance in 2016 and 2017, Our Chamber has organized programs to visit the fairs held in major centers of the world such as Frankfurt, Paris, Milan, Tokyo, Munich, Dubai, Madrid and New York and more than 160 members participated in more than 160 overseas business trips in 5 years.
