A Strategic Alliance for Business Diplomacy and Innovation Jointly hosted by the Foreign Economic Relations Board of Türkiye (DEİK) / Türkiye-U.S. Business Council (TAİK) Digital Taskforce and Endeavor Türkiye, the third edition of the GO! GLOBAL Türkiye Summit will take place as an exclusive, high-level forum in vibrant İstanbul on 22–24 October 2026. Over the last four decades, TAİK has served as Türkiye’s premier bilateral trade organization, reinforcing commercial partnerships through sustained business diplomacy. Collaborating seamlessly with Endeavor Türkiye’s mission of empowering high-impact entrepreneurs to scale internationally, this summit bridges the gap between top-tier global venture capital and regional market disruptors.
Bridging High-Precision Capital with Europe's First League Ecosystem Türkiye's technology ecosystem has firmly established its place in Europe’s first league, boasting over $1.7 billion in combined activity, including a powerful domestic investment performance and an expansive diaspora startup network. Having minted its first tech unicorn in 2018, the country now features seven standout unicorns—including two decacorns—spanning industry pioneers such as Peak, Trendyol, Getir, Insider, Hepsiburada, Dream Games, and Loom Games. Driven heavily by world-class momentum in the FinTech and Gaming verticals, which combined command 68% of all deployed capital, the Turkish market serves as a highly efficient incubator for global winners.
Curated Alignment and Multi-Regional Reach Building upon successive years of data-driven matching execution, the GO! GLOBAL Türkiye Summit provides international fund managers, top-tier LPs, and leading "blue-chip" companies from both the U.S. and Türkiye with unparalleled, curated access to vetted growth-stage assets. Set at the geopolitical and commercial crossroads of Europe, Central Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, the three-day summit facilitates highly constructive peer-learning sessions, strategic executive dialogues, and focused one-on-one matchmaking environments designed to catalyze foreign direct investment (FDI) and build long-lasting cross-border equity partnerships.
