2023 has started on a very positive note as we have embraced a month full of fresh starts, new resolutions, meetings, exhibitions, networking and so much more.

At TBC we hope the first month of the year was a positive one for you and your business.

For us, the Intercouncil Networking Event was without a doubt the most notable January event. We made good relationships with businesspeople from many different nations with our members during this event, which coincided with the inconvenience of a rainy week that we are not used to in Dubai.
On the other hand, the meeting to organize the special events for this year really excited us. Our Embassy, the Dubai Consulate General, the Presidents and representatives of Turkish Business Councils in Dubai & Northern Emirates, and Abu Dhabi are working hard to enable the upcoming events for the year to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic of Türkiye and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Türkiye-UAE relations. We are looking forward to sharing these exciting plans with you all as soon as we have a finalised calendar.
