About TAIB

Founded in Istanbul in 2012 with the participation of 16 legal and real persons, the “Association of Azerbaijani Business People in Turkey” (TAIB) aims to bring together Azerbaijani or Azerbaijani-origin business people operating in the Republic of Turkey under one roof, ensuring their acquaintance and solidarity, providing them with general information about the economic environment in Turkey, developing cooperation in commercial, economic and technical fields, facilitating mutual exchange of ideas and information, encouraging new investments, supporting the healthy and effective conduct of its members’ relations with relevant private and official institutions, and contributing to economic, social and cultural development.
