The first click brings up a Turkish company seeking bids to repair a turbine generator system. Further down there is an analysis of recent economic developments in Turkey; and a question (and answer) about how to open a cupcake store with English recipes.
Welcome to the Turkey page of the ‘Open to Export’ website.
Open to Export is a community-driven service, launched in 2012, to help British exporters. The idea is that companies can post questions to users who have the exporting knowledge and experience to help guide others in taking their business overseas.
The site is also a repository of information from UK Trade and Investment and other Government organisations (eg the Foreign and Commonwealth Office) about different countries.
I can guarantee there’s some great stuff on there.
The idea is that the Open to Export website will help companies find information about new markets; will help them to connect with new customers; and will give them the knowledge to help overcome hurdles that may stand in their way.
What’s more, it’s free.
Ever since I’ve been working on commercial and economic work (nearly 30 years now) we have faced the challenge of bringing the detailed local knowledge of posts overseas directly to the attention of potential exporting firms across the length and breadth of the United Kingdom.
Open to Export looks to me like one of the best efforts to achieve that connection we’ve ever had.
Check it out – I recommend you click on “All”, or “Questions” to begin with, and take it from there.
