At the promotional meeting organised for the event, Prof. Dr. Yusuf Balcı, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Türk Ticaret Bankası, who evaluated our sponsorship, conveyed our bank's strong history, new journey and the value it places on innovation in its new era. Balcı said, "The Türk Ticaret Bankası, established in 1913 with the first national private capital, has played a pioneering role in the development of the Turkish economy with its long history. With the great dedication and hard work of the Turkish Exporters Assembly, Export Development Inc. and our unions, we have revitalised our bank for exporters. As the exporter's second address, we are focused on strengthening Türkiye's export potential, facilitating our exporters' access to finance and producing solutions that will increase their competitiveness."

Competitive strength is directly linked to embracing technology. As the Türk Ticaret Bankası, we place great importance on innovation and prioritise developing solutions that focus on innovation in all our business processes and in the products and services we offer to exporters. On this occasion, we are proud to be a strategic partner of Türkiye Innovation Week 2025”.
