Tüyap: Crossroads of Global Trade

We were founded in Istanbul on June 28, 1979. Our core business is organizing trade fairs both in Türkiye and abroad. Our first fairs were held at the Istanbul Sports and Exhibition Hall, the Tüyap Trade Center – Etap Marmara Hotel, and the Tüyap Istanbul Exhibition Hall – Tepebaşı. With the rapidly growing number of our specialized fairs, since 1996 we have been carrying out our exhibition activities at our own venue, the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center. Through the major trade events we organize every year, we enable business professionals to discover the latest innovations in their industries and strengthen their business connections. More than just a fair organizer, we serve as “the crossroads of global trade”—taking the pulse of the business world and supporting them in shaping their visions for the future. As Tüyap Exhibitions Group, we are proud to contribute to the Turkish economy.
