Our mission is to promote proactively a business environment which matches to best global practices and to encourage free trade of goods and services, free competition, investment and movement of capital.

We promote networking and communication between established, new and potential investors, facilitating the exchange of information and specifically foster better communication with YASED members. Our Association acts as a platform for new ideas and provides collective support to our members in their dealings with Turkish governmental and regulatory bodies on business issues of common interest.

We are committed to develop better channels of communication and coordination with other organizations in the business community and to generate greater awareness among the general public of our issues and to improve the image of FDI in Turkey among all the stakeholders. One of our highest priorities is lobbying in support of initiatives to harmonize Turkish legislation and business practices with international norms and being committed to improving the ethical values and corporate governance principles.

In order to achieve our targets, we aim to generate collective synergy. We strongly believe that our issues demand more than can be achieved merely by reaching a consensus and agreeing on definitions or problems. In order to support all structural reforms which help to improve the investment environment, we aim to create solution proposals for resolute, coordinated and proactive efforts. Building on our organization’s solid foundations and impressive record of success, we believe YASED will continue to be a driving force for the improvement of the investment environment in Turkey.

The dedication and vision of YASED members have created an organization that is recognized as the voice of international investors in Turkey, which actively promotes Turkey’s negotiation process with the EU for the realization of its full membership. The momentum generated by YASED’s achievements and the vision of our members will secure our existence as a strong and indispensable focus of power in the Turkish and international business community, today and in the future.
