The Trade and Investment Committee connects MAİD members with one another and with companies beyond the region, and works to ease the most concrete obstacle to growth: access to finance.
Why this committee?
For a manufacturer in Marmara the problem is rarely finding a market — it is finding the right market at the right cost, under constant payment-term pressure.
