In her opening speech, TOBB Council Member Işınsu Kestelli said, “TOBB Women Entrepreneurs Council does not consist of a certain homogenous structure. It consists of women entrepreneurs from different sectors and at different scales. Therefore, we have a lot to say to each other.  We have a lot to learn from each other. I believe that we will bring new perspectives to the women of our country in the coming days with the projects we will realize with your support and contributions. Our aim is not to reach our goals but to exceed them.”

Nurten Öztürk, President of the TOBB Women Entrepreneurs Council, said in her opening speech: “We carry out activities and projects to increase women entrepreneurship, women employment and the number of women in management. Today, our vice presidents will explain what they have done within the framework of their duties determined in the previous meeting.  Both our vice presidents and regional representatives will tell us about their projects that will no longer remain in words but will pass into substance. We would like to listen to what stage we are at.”
