Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey

The meeting was organized with the participation of Günseli Özen, Vice President of TOBB Women Entrepreneurs Council, Nurcan Babalık, TOBB Kocaeli Women Entrepreneurs Council President, Arçelik Retail Academy and Beko executives. In the program, details were conveyed in a special panel for those who want to become dealers within the scope of Beko 100 Women Dealers project.

Günseli Özen, Vice President of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey Women Entrepreneurs Council, started by sending her loving greetings to the participants on behalf of TOBB President Mr. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu and TOBB Women Entrepreneurs Council President Nurten Öztürk. “‎We are a society that wants to achieve success quickly, we want to reach a conclusion immediately.‎ When we look at it socially, there are other responsibilities for each of us at the point of why it doesn't happen. At the point where we say why we support this project, there is both women empowerment in this project as well as education. We worked hard as Arçelik, Beko and TOBB in creating this well-grounded project in how to become an entrepreneurial woman. We have reached many cities as part of the Heroines of Entrepreneurship project. Each of them has learned a lot from us. We have made many gains from each city. I will carry all the places I have gone in my heart and I will never forget, I'm glad you are here.”

Nurcan Babalık, TOBB Kocaeli Women Entrepreneurs Council President, started by thanking those who contributed and participated and said, “The empowerment of women in all areas of life is one of the indispensable elements of sustainable development. As TOBB Women Entrepreneurs Council, we try to strengthen our ecosystem with various projects and training programs from the past to the present. We strive for sustainable development with our women entrepreneurs. Today we are here in cooperation with TOBB Women Entrepreneurs Council and Beko for the Heroines of Entrepreneurship Project, which was implemented with the support of Arçelik Retail Academy. We want to be able to offer our women the opportunity to become Beko dealers and to create an attraction for our women to enter the business life. With TOBB Women Entrepreneurs Council and provincial women entrepreneurs councils, we organize many seminars and training programs for our women to take a more active place in business life. We are working to promote entrepreneurial culture. We do our best to make our women entrepreneurs take part in more innovative and value-added projects. We offer many opportunities to our entrepreneurs through seminars, competitions and studies we offer to our women in our region. We will continue to touch the lives of many women and support them to develop their business for women's entrepreneurship today and tomorrow as we have in the past."

‎Beko Sales Director Burak ‎ Bilgisel said, “As Beko, we always support and stand by women's participation in the business world. We are happy to be in Kocaeli with the face-to-face trainings that we would love to carry out within the scope of the Heroines of Entrepreneurship Project in this way that we aim to support and empower entrepreneurial women. The primary goal of this project is to be able to fill their courage in business life with education and to help women get their rightful place in business life in a safe, competitive and equipped way. Since it is integrated with our 100 Women Dealer Project, I would like to share that we will be happy to join the entrepreneurial women in Marmara who want to become Beko dealers after the trainings.”
