A Foreign Trade Intelligence Center was Established in the Başkent Organized Industrial Zone with the Support of the Agency.
As a result of the intensification of the highly competitive environment in world trade and the change in strategic priorities, exporting has become a commercial necessity for companies located in Ankara. For this reason, a project has been developed by our Agency in order to turn to countries with high potential, to determine the right targets and to obtain information about domestic and foreign companies before entering the market. As a result of the analyzes and researches made with the potential customers of the companies, it is aimed to strengthen the export steps of the companies.
A Foreign Trade Intelligence Center was established in the Başkent Organized Industrial Zone with the support of Ankara Development Agency, as knowing the global market is an indispensable priority for the exporter in order to achieve success. At Başkent OSB Foreign Trade Intelligence Center, services such as directing companies to countries with high potential to do business, determining the right target market, and conducting accurate analysis and research on foreign companies before entering the market will be provided. The center will provide guidance for the regional participants to make the said moves in their commercial activities. In this way, it is aimed to grow the regional companies and to increase the export revenues of Ankara and our country.
Within the scope of this project, a foreign trade intelligence portal was opened and made available to companies under the name https://www.ankaradisticaret.org/. Companies will be able to apply through the portal and experts working in intelligence centers will provide all transactions through the portal with the applicant companies. In addition, membership to the intelligence software for foreign trade intelligence centers has made it easier for experts doing foreign trade intelligence to carry out intelligence activities. In this way, pinpoint target country, customer and market data started to be provided to companies. In total, 5 intelligence centers are established in Ankara and they continue to be operational.
