TOBB President Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, during his speech at the opening ceremony of the Niksar Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s new service building, expressed great joy in visiting Niksar.
Hisarcıklıoğlu, touching on the Tokat’s historical importance, said,
“Tokat is home to more historical artifacts than some countries have to their
name. Bringing these to light will bring great prosperity. Niksar and Tokat
await promotion to this end.
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “As TOBB President, I am particularly proud of two
things. One is that we have brought entrepreneurship into the mainstream in
Turkey. The other is that I lead the largest women entrepreneurs’ organization
in the world. There are approximately 7,000 women entrepreneurs organized
within TOBB in the 81 provinces. Tokat has young and women entrepreneurs.
Hopefully a part of them will be together as a part of our program. The most
important factor for Tokat to draw in people is entrepreneurship. This is
already a part of Tokat’s spirit and culture. My one request of you is that you
look out for women and young entrepreneurs, enabling them to be role models for
the women and young entrepreneurs of tomorrow.”
