American Chamber of Commerce in Turkey

The U.S. Department of Commerce is bringing more than 120 U.S. businesses to Europe and Eurasia for the 14th annual Trade Winds as Türkiye and the U.S. seek to boost bilateral trade to $100 billion.

This year's Trade Winds centers around a three-day business forum from May 13-15 in Istanbul.

The economic relations between Türkiye and the United States continue to develop positively in 2023, with the volume of trade between the two countries reaching $31.3 billion in the last 12 months.

The American Business Forum in Turkey (AmCham Turkey/ABFT) has awarded the Turkish and U.S. companies that have contributed to the development of Turkey-United States economic relations with their business activity.

Ljubljana – Ajša Vodnik, director general of AmCham Slovenija, has won another term as vice president of AmChams in Europe, a network of American Chambers of Commerce from 43 countries in Europe and Eurasia, AmCham Slovenia said. This means Slovenia will remain the seat of the organisation for another two years.

Bora Gürçay, the Motorola Turkey country manager responsible for all Motorola Turkey operations, has been named the new president of the Turkish-American Business Association American Chamber of Commerce (TABA/AmCham). 

Gürçay, who was elected unanimously in the general board meeting, will hold the position for the next two years, the organization said in a written statement. 

The latest survey of the American Chamber of Commerce in Montenegro, AmCham, released on Wednesday, suggests that a significant number of US companies - 70 per cent - do not believe that the rule of law has improved and more than half see "uneven implementation of the laws" as an issue.
