Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey

In his speech at the opening, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu congratulated the Ankara Chamber of Industry and the Women Entrepreneurs Council for their contemporary vision, which brought this office for women entrepreneurs to the capital. Congratulating Ankara Women Entrepreneurs Council for their active work, Hisarcıklıoğlu said: “It is our duty to pave the way for women and increase the number of women entrepreneurs. Do not forget that the best of people is the one who is beneficial to people.”

Mentioning that KGK has turned into a project factory, Hisarcıklıoğlu said: “Encouraging our young girls to become entrepreneurs is your most important project. The more entrepreneurs there are in a country, the richer that country is. We must utilize the potential of our entrepreneurs and women. According to TURKSTAT figures, our female entrepreneur rate has reached 12 percent. This is very important. How many women entrepreneurs are there in Ankara now and how many will there be when you leave office? You can measure your success from this point. If the rate of women entrepreneurs has increased in our country, this work of our Women Entrepreneurs Council has a great role. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Mrs. Nurten, our Council President, and Mrs. Hande, our Ankara Provincial President. I would also like to congratulate all our women entrepreneurs on their behalf. I would like to thank Seyit Ardıç and Hande Öztürk once again. I believe that our office will support our women entrepreneurs in the best way and I wish them all success.”
