In September 2026, the Gaziantep Chamber of Industry (GSO) held its assembly meeting to address regional and national economic challenges, industrial trends, and export performance. During the meeting, President Adil Sani Konukoğlu highlighted the necessity of monitoring global developments to plan for future industrial needs. The session also served as a final gathering before the scheduled Chamber Organ Elections.

By early October, ahead of the Gaziantep Chamber of Commerce (GTO) elections, local economic leaders signaled unity. A delegation led by Ünal Akdoğan, President of the Gaziantep Union of Chambers of Tradesmen and Craftsmen (GESOB), expressed full support for incumbent GTO President Tuncay Yıldırım. Yıldırım noted that the city’s development depends on the integration of industrialists, merchants, and tradesmen acting as a single entity.
