TÜGİAD was established in 1986 as Türkiye's first national and only international association for young business leaders. With over 1,000 members across Türkiye and representation from more than 60 sectors, we contribute to the country's economy by providing employment for over 600,000 people. It is the only non-governmental organization representing Türkiye in the Presidency of the European Confederation of Young Business Leaders, the Vice Presidency of Young Entrepreneurs Organisation of the European Union and the G20 YEA Young Entrepreneurs Alliance.
Our commissions are working groups that produce projects and organize activities for the TÜGİAD Board of Directors, providing internal association interaction.
