Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will meet with the CEOs of approximately 90 German monopolies including Siemens, BMW and Bosch at his presidential palace on Oct 25.
Erdoğan will host the CEOs of nearly 90 biggest German companies at his presidential complex. Peter Altmaier, the Federal Minister of Germany for Economic Affairs and Energy, will also participate in the meeting.
During the meeting, Turkish authorities and the CEOs of the German companies will discuss the new investments in Turkey and the incentives to be provided by the government.

In 2017, Turkey’s exports to Germany increased to $15,1 billion and imports from Germany slightly decreased to $21,3 billion.
