The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu attended the opening of the TOBB Ankara Women Entrepreneurs Council (KGK) Office. In addition to Hisarcıklıoğlu, Ankara KGK President Hande Öztürk and women entrepreneurs attended the opening at Ankara Chamber of Industry.
In his speech at the
opening, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu congratulated the Ankara
Chamber of Industry and the Women Entrepreneurs Council for their contemporary
vision, which brought this office for women entrepreneurs to the capital.
Congratulating Ankara Women Entrepreneurs Council for their active work,
Hisarcıklıoğlu said: “It is our duty to pave the way for women and increase the
number of women entrepreneurs. Do not forget that the best of people is the one
who is beneficial to people.”
Mentioning that KGK has
turned into a project factory, Hisarcıklıoğlu said: “Encouraging our young
girls to become entrepreneurs is your most important project. The more
entrepreneurs there are in a country, the richer that country is. We must
utilize the potential of our entrepreneurs and women. According to TURKSTAT
figures, our female entrepreneur rate has reached 12 percent. This is very
important. How many women entrepreneurs are there in Ankara now and how many
will there be when you leave office? You can measure your success from this
point. If the rate of women entrepreneurs has increased in our country, this
work of our Women Entrepreneurs Council has a great role. I would like to take
this opportunity to congratulate Mrs. Nurten, our Council President, and Mrs.
Hande, our Ankara Provincial President. I would also like to congratulate all
our women entrepreneurs on their behalf. I would like to thank Seyit Ardıç and
Hande Öztürk once again. I believe that our office will support our women
entrepreneurs in the best way and I wish them all success.”
