Turkey has very bright entrepreneurs who have made a big leap in recent years and are also attracting attention in the USA. We believe that these entrepreneurs will play a major role in the success of the economies of the two countries. At the same time, we believe that ATS will make the goal of strengthening cultural, commercial and economic success between the two countries more attainable. It is also gratifying that these entrepreneurs, who make us proud with their lasting stories, add entrepreneurial motivation and inspiration to the new generation.”
