TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu attended the Black Sea Region TOBB Provincial Women and Young Entrepreneurs Councils Joint Meeting held on March 8th, Women’s Day at the Amasya Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
During his speech, Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that prosperity for Turkey’s
and the solution to its unemployment lies in increasing the number of its
entrepreneurs.
Pointing out the importance they put on young and women entrepreneurs
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. If Turkey wants to be richer, increasing the number of entrepreneurs is
an important point.”
- The government can’t provide
employment for all
Stating that 1 million new people join the workforce each year,
Hisarcıklıoğlu reported that this number would reach 1.5 million in 10 years,
“Since the government can’t provide employment for all, we must increase the
number of our entrepreneurs.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu stressed that the youth and women should always have big
goals; that without goals, there is no success.
