TOBB Women Entrepreneurs Council Regional Representatives Meeting was held at TOBB Twin Towers with the participation of TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, TOBB Council Member Işınsu Kestelli, TOBB Women Entrepreneurs Council (KGK) President Nurten Öztürk and KGK Regional Representatives.

In his speech here, TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu said that TOBB Provincial Women and Young Entrepreneurs Councils are the largest entrepreneur network in the country. Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “The TOBB Women Entrepreneurs Council has been a role model and guide for women and young girls to encourage and develop entrepreneurship. You are the most important example and role model in front of the entrepreneur candidates. We need your vision and guidance so that new entrepreneurs can emerge in Türkiye. We must make working and producing a goal in the second century of our Republic. We sincerely believe that we will reach our goal of determining policies and pioneering the development of entrepreneurship culture among women in order to improve the women entrepreneur potential in our country in terms of quantity and quality and to make it better equipped.”

- A strong woman means a strong society

Pointing out that women who produce and labor mean stronger women and a stronger society, Hisarcıklıoğlu noted that there is a need to walk together for a stronger tomorrow. Stating that the first task of the committees is to highlight successful women entrepreneurs as role models, TOBB President said: “We need to ensure that other women say ‘if she did it, I can do it too.’ The repository of entrepreneurship is our universities. We expect you to cooperate with the universities in your province, establish entrepreneurship clubs and work actively. Go and tell our university students and young girls how you have succeeded. Women should be in all areas of life. Profession, hard work, success and money have no gender.”
