In his opening speech, TKYD Chairman Tayfun Bayazıt touched upon the importance of equity, responsibility, transparency and accountability implementations for business owners and family companies.  TÜSİAD President Ümit Boyner stated that family companies needed to internalize corporate governance principles in order to extend their commercial lifespan. Saying that their success in this would overcome problems in accessing finance, Boyner stated that in thus increasing their investment fund and credit opportunities, reaching human resources and taking other investment decisions would also be facilitated.
