Eskişehir Boosts Trade Links with Belgium and Local Business Community

The Eskişehir Entrepreneurs Association (ESMİAD) hosted a meeting chaired by its president Oğuz Sinlenmez, attended by the provincial head of the Nationalist Movement Party, Ayhan Sezer. Participants discussed the city’s economic outlook, focusing on production capacity, investment climate, and employment, and emphasized the need for coordinated dialogue between public authorities, business leaders and civil society to drive growth.

In a parallel forum, the MÜSİAD Eskişehir branch, led by Oğuz Özdemir, met with MÜSİAD Belgium president Abdülkerim Demir. The discussion covered expanding commercial ties, attracting Belgian investment, and launching direct Brussels‑Eskişehir flights to serve the sizable Emirdağ‑origin diaspora. Both sides agreed to deepen cooperation, promote joint projects, and increase trade volume between the Turkish city and Belgium.

Quotes highlighted the sentiment: Sinlenmez said the city’s potential can be advanced only through “joint consultation and strong communication,” while Özdemir noted that “strong social and economic bonds exist between Belgium and our city, and we aim to take them further.”
