Applications for the Türkiye 100 program, which will determine the fastest growing companies, can be made at http://turkiye100.tobb.org.tr until September 30, 2024. The program will open the door to new partnerships for the companies ranked in the top 100, while providing promotion opportunities on many platforms.

TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu invited companies to apply for the program and said, “We are working non-stop to make our country one of the leading countries of the world in the second century of our Republic. In order to achieve this goal, we need to continue our economic growth at a brisk pace. There are thousands of entrepreneurs in our country who see opportunities, innovate and create employment. With the Türkiye 100 program, we are making these entrepreneurial companies known to the public and paving the way for our successful entrepreneurs both in Türkiye and in the world. Türkiye's 100 fastest growing companies will have the opportunity to increase their visibility and strengthen their national and international connections.”
