With 44 years of experience in exhibitions, Tüyap Fairs Group has taken an important step in strengthening its global presence by establishing the International Trade Fair (ITF) company in Belgrade in May 2022, in addition to its 6 liaison offices around the world and its network of more than 80 representatives in 27 countries.
The first event of this initiative, which will contribute to our country’s export targets, was the All4Wood and WindoShow Fairs, which took place simultaneously at the Belgrade Fair Center last week.
After Istanbul, Bursa, Konya, Adana and Samsun, Turkey’s first fair organization Tuyap Fair Organization Group established the International Trade Fair (ITF) company in Belgrade on May 18, 2022 and carried its fair organization activities to Serbia and the Balkans. Tuyap, which already has liaison offices in Moscow, Tbilisi, Skopje, Ljubljana and Tehran abroad, and a network of over 80 representative offices in 27 countries, will strengthen its global presence with this breakthrough, as well as increase its contribution to our country’s export targets.
