The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu attended the 5th Annual Meeting held at ATO Congerisum. In his speech at the opening of the Productivity and Technology Fair, he said, “The dizzying speed of digital transformation is rapidly changing the needs and expectations of consumers. At this point, efficiency is not only a concept, it is the basic element of transformation.”​

Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that university students, techno-cities where information and technology production is made for 5 years, public institutions, leading technology companies in their fields and experienced names of Türkiye have come together with this event, “From e-commerce to defense industry, from automotive to technology companies, it brings together a wide range of manufacturers and buyers. It also inspires young people by hosting valuable conversations on topics such as e-sports, gaming, metaverse and artificial intelligence.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu noted that they know that sustainable growth and increasing international competitiveness can only be achieved on the basis of technological development.

Hisarcıklıoğlu underlined that it is necessary to work day and night to become a country that exports critical technologies, not imports them, and said: “In this sense, all of our business processes need to be reconsidered according to the principle of efficiency. We are in a period where technology is developing at a great pace. While e-commerce is becoming more and more widespread, business processes are also being transformed technologically. The dizzying speed of digital transformation is also rapidly changing the needs and expectations of consumers. At this point, efficiency is not just a concept, it is the basic element of transformation.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu drew attention to the importance of making efficiency the main issue at many points from business processes to energy, employees and raw materials, and said that the modern factories established recently increased productivity.

Stating that producers and entrepreneurs should be online, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “For this reason, we are striving for the digitalization of the private sector, green transformation and the development of new generation entrepreneurship. We prepare our companies and entrepreneurs for the digital world and produce projects to improve their technological infrastructure. Working with the world's largest global technology companies, we are establishing collaborations for the digitalization of our SMEs.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu said that entrepreneurs aim to be dynamic and easily access the resources, knowledge and skills they need to grow in the digital world.

Hisarcıklıoğlu said that the private sector and young people are striving to actively benefit from TOBB's Young and Women Entrepreneurs network, and that Türkiye has started to make a difference to competitors in technological developments.

Hisarcıklıoğlu, pointing out that great things have been done in the game sector, said, “We have shown you what the Turkish nation can do when it wants, that strength is born from unity, and we have done groundbreaking work. What is produced in Türkiye changes the balances.Our companies are achieving great success. Five technological companies in this land that exceed $ 1 billion, both of these companies are worth more than $ 10 billion. It was all a dream. In other words, as Turkish entrepreneurs, we are here to break the rules. I hope young people will carry this flag forward.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu then visited the stands at the fair and received information about the works.
