Chamber of commerce Izmir

Izmir Chamber of Commerce was set up in 1885 and is still active as a Constitutional Professional Legal Entity to cater for the common needs of its members, to facilitate their professional activities, to maintain professional discipline, moral values and solidarity so as to establish honesty and reliability in the relations between the members and with third parties, and to render services as provided for under its statutory law.

We are aware of the fact that high quality training is a priority issue for our country
and that any reduction in the educational facilities would lead to huge problems.

Therefore, our Chamber is committed to perform all kinds of tasks with regard to training and being a role-model for other organizations. Within this framework, our Chamber is the only chamber in Turkey havingan independent training center. In our training center, the programs that are given to the participants are supported by eminent academicians, specialists from institutions such as Board of Capital Market, Istanbul Stock Exchange and market analysts.
 

In parallel to our mission, we are establishing The Izmir Economics University, that has a universal identity and cooperates with the business community. Our aim is to contribute to the training of our province, region and even our country. Our university is composed of business, fashion and technical schools, with permanent training centers and social complexes.

Business schools will be organized in the form of vocational schools and and will have the aim of training middle-level labor force.We willopen up fashion schools in order to help our members cope with the keen competition prevailing in the world and follow the rapidly changing and developing technology.
