GTR Türkiye Istanbul

GTR Türkiye is the leading conference and exhibition for international trade, export development, and trade finance, with a dedicated focus on Turkey. Organized by GTR (Global Trade Review) – a globally renowned publishing and events company specializing in trade and export finance since 2002 – the event takes place annually in the exclusive setting of the Swissôtel The Bosphorus in Istanbul. It brings together key decision-makers and industry leaders from business, politics, and finance.

What sets GTR Türkiye apart is its unique combination of cutting-edge content, high-level networking, and a clear positioning at the intersection of global trade and regional expertise. The event offers a one-of-a-kind platform for financial institutions, export-driven companies, industry representatives, and policymakers to engage with the core challenges and opportunities shaping the future of trade – from geopolitical risks to strategic liquidity planning.

At the heart of the event are highly practical, real-world topics. Attendees can expect in-depth discussions on emerging geopolitical developments and their impact on trade, insights into the export strategies of Turkish companies, agile working capital solutions for mid-sized and large enterprises, as well as innovative financing models across global supply chains. Other key themes include the establishment of new trade partnerships, diversification of export markets, and the management of payment flows and cash flow risks.

More than 50 international experts share their analysis and solutions in a high-caliber conference format, enhanced by interactive panel discussions and structured networking sessions.

The event is specifically tailored to export managers, financial decision-makers, consultants, and senior executives from industry, banks, and alternative finance providers – in short, all those actively involved in shaping international trade relationships. As part of GTR’s global conference series – with additional events in London, Singapore, Dubai, and Cape Town – GTR Türkiye serves as the regional hub for trade-related dialogue focused on Turkey and neighboring markets.

Located in one of Istanbul’s most prestigious districts, Swissôtel The Bosphorus combines modern infrastructure with outstanding service. Easily accessible from both the international airport and the city center, it provides the ideal setting for an event that is not only professionally significant but also uniquely situated in a city that epitomizes the connection between East and West.

The GTR Türkiye will take place on Sunday, 01. February 2026 in Istanbul.
