In this context, TÜSİAD works towards building closer and more continuous relations with these organizations gathered under the confederation TURKONFED. Relations starting with the visits to Industrialists’ and Businessmen’s Associations 20 years ago, today, continue with memberships of the federations under TÜRKONFED.
