On the 21st of September, we continued to strengthen our network and facilitate business growth with a successful member only Business Networking Event held at the stylish 25Hours Hotel in Dubai.
The Türkiye Exporters Assembly (TIM), under the Ministry of Trade, organised an impactful trade mission on the 19th of September, 2023, at the Intercontinental Hotel Festival City in Dubai. This event served as a pivotal platform for businesses to explore new horizons and expand their international reach. Our esteemed board member, Tamimi Consulting, played a crucial role in the organisation of all the B2B meetings with 40 of the most prominent Turkish brands and businesses present.

Accepting the gracious invitation of H.H. Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, our esteemed TBC board members visited RAK. This visit was a testament to the strong bonds we share and the potential for collaboration and growth.
Last but certainly not least, we concluded September with a memorable evening on the 23rd of September 2023, at Zabeel Theatre. The sensational Evrencan Gunduz captivated an audience of over 500 attendees with an unforgettable musical concert, adding a touch of fun to our calendar of events.
Against the backdrop of these exciting developments and gatherings, the Turkish Business Council continues to be more than just a platform. It thrives as a vibrant community strengthened by the unwavering support and engagement of our valued members.

SELAMLIQUE
The age-old tradition of Turkish coffee has been slowly dissipated as alternative coffees have invaded the market and its relevance overshadowed with each passing generation; whereas Turkish coffee is one of the few products that is fundamentally and exclusively linked to its nation of origin. This is why Selamlique Turkish Coffee was established with the principle objective of bringing international recognition to Turkish coffee, and aims to become the first global premium Turkish coffee brand.
Selamlique Turkish Coffee operates with focus on design and quality, aiming to bring back and preserve the authentic ritual of Turkish coffee drinking.
Selamlique’s Turkish coffee comes in seven different natural aromas: Traditional, Dark Roast, Mastic, Cinnamon, Chocolate, Cardamon and Decaffeinated. In developing its range of coffees, Selamlique was the first to offer Turkish coffee in single-serving sachets with ready prepared individual measures of coffee and sugar so that all that is needed is to add water and cook.
Selamlique also offers a series of complementing Turkish coffee accessories ranging from a silver coffee pot and tray to branded coffee cups. And as the ritual of drinking Turkish coffee would not be complete without it; Selamlique also offers a selection of sweet confectioneries.
Selamlique has been operating in UAE since 2011 with one store, at The Mall at the World Trade Center, Khalifa Bin Zayed the First Street, Abu Dhabi.
