Lucrative opportunities for 2014 & beyond 2nd Edition Investing in Turkey Forum 15 April 2014 Ashurst Headquarters, London Official Host Silver Sponsor Bronze Sponsors RE Supporting Partners InternationalProjectFinance Association Chairman’s Welcoming Note Chris Gaunt Chairman BCCT - British Chamber of Commerce in Turkey Turkey has a challenging 2014 ahead which will require a strong nerve and patience. This event will bring together leading speakers with the experience, knowledge and know how to help investors remain focused on Turkey as an investment destination. 2nd Investing in Turkey Forum will also allow speakers to share their thinking on why Turkey is such a lucrative option for investors and how to deal with any immediate concerns. Turkey will face both political and economic challenges in the short term but I firmly believe, based on Turkey's resilient fundamentals, dynamic demographics and regional business networks, the medium and long term prospects are still positive with considerable headroom for growth. 2014 Turkey Events 4th Turkey Private Equity & Venture Capital Summit 12th June 2014, Istanbul 6th Turkey Energy Congress 16-17 September 2014, Istanbul 3rd PPP in Turkey Forum 26-27 November 2014, Ankara Background & Overview With Europe and the Middle East still dealing with the tail end of the recent economic downturn, Turkey's economic performance has seemingly bucked the trend. Turkey has proven resilient to the global recession, posting strong and stable economic growth in a number of sectors helping it develop into one of the strongest economies in the region. Turkey has also been labelled a ‘MINT’ country, a group of countries that look set to be the next economic giants. Ways to register: Online: www.eelevents.co.uk New transportation, health and energy projects reflect only a fraction of the investment opportunities currently on offer. Hot areas in the Turkish market also include Healthcare PPP, Real estate and the privatisation of transportation and ports which have drawn interest from key market players and multilateral institutions alike. Whilst local financing exists, foreign direct investment is increasingly sought to increase efficiency and match Turkey’s fast growing GDP. Phone: +44 (0) 207 275 8020 Thus investors, especially long-term investors, have become increasingly drawn to Turkey by the continued prospect of growth fuelled by a well educated and thriving young population. Project Manager: Our 2014 Investing in Turkey Forum will outline key investment opportunities in Turkey, including Infrastructure (Energy and PPP) and Private Equity.
