Economic organizations in Turkey have initiated discussions regarding global geopolitical shifts and their impact on national and international markets. 

The Antalya Young Businessmen Association (ANTGİAD) opened its 2026-2027 season with a forum titled ‘What Awaits the Turkish Economy in the Age of Geopolitical Transformation’, which addressed global power shifts, energy corridors, and economic risks. 

Following this, the Palandöken Economic Forum (PEF 2026) was announced for December in Erzurum. Centered on the theme “Capital Under Global Uncertainty: The New Equation of Investment,” the forum aims to examine shifting investment patterns and trade corridors. The event is expected to involve high-level Turkish government officials and includes plans for international outreach, such as sessions at the United Nations in New York and meetings with various foreign ambassadors and regional organizations to increase Erzurum’s visibility to investors.
