FOLLOWING THE CHANGE BREEDS SUCCESS

Addressing the businessmen in the audience, the President of the Republic, Erdoğan said "You are men of commerce. You keep a close eye on global developments as well as the change our society goes through. Just like the case with economics, old and well used methods no longer work in politics. The politics needs to change in parallel to the changes in the society and the business world. We are living through an era in which the people who are able to understand the spirit of the day and follow the winds of change, adjusting themselves as required without contempt for tradition, achieve success. Those who resist change will be destined to be cast out of circle in the end."

The Istanbul Chamber of Commerce Awards which were extended for the first time, intend to encourage the individuals and entities which contribute to the global, economic and cultural development of the city.
