Founded 6 years ago, the International Business People's Association is taking firm steps forward by reliable and ethical local and foreign business people who are social, entrepreneurial, sensitive to ethical rules, have worldwide goals, have a vision, and are gathered around projects that will benefit humanity.
THE MANAGEMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PEOPLE ASSOCIATION RENEWED CONFIDENCE
Bringing the members together at the 3rd Ordinary General Assembly meeting of the association held in Taksim, Istanbul last week, Intisad President Selahattin Par said, "Investing in people is very important in the qualified increase of exports," pointing out that the association meets with quality business people in 16 countries and mentors hundreds of students.
In addition to its headquarters in Turkey, Intisad has representative offices in the USA, Germany, Australia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Switzerland, Taiwan, Japan, Ghana, Dubai, Russia, Uzbekistan, Romania, Cyprus and Ukraine.
INTISAD, which aims to be beneficial to our country and humanity by building a reliable trade and friendship network worldwide, has carried out many successful social responsibility projects in a short period of 6 years. In 2023, it organized many afforestation projects with the slogan "Green will save the world", mentoring for 500 university students, financial support and iftar organizations for the families of veterans and martyrs, and many workshops on expanding and strengthening the international trade network. İNTİSAD, which expands its network by participating in fairs and congresses abroad with its members, represents the network chain of successful business people.
In this general assembly, İNTİSAD Chairman Selahattin Par, with his new list of successful business people, stated that their targets for 2024 and beyond are 400 million USD exports, support for 1000 university students, and 40 successful representatives abroad. INTISAD, known for its sensitivity to the environment, will continue to plant thousands of saplings this year as every year.
Here is how Intisad President Selahattin Par summarized the purpose of the establishment of the association:
"Our International Business People Association was founded 6 years ago by local and foreign business people who are social, entrepreneurial, sensitive to ethical rules, have worldwide goals, have a vision, are reliable and ethical, and gather around projects that will benefit humanity. Our aim is to benefit our country and humanity by building a reliable trade and friendship network worldwide. In a short period of 6 years, we have carried out many successful social responsibility projects. We have organized many afforestation projects with the slogan "Green will save nature", mentoring for 500 university students, financial support and iftar organizations for the families of veterans and martyrs, many workshops on expanding and strengthening the international trade network. Together, we have expanded our network by participating in fairs and congresses abroad. Currently, İNTİSAD represents a network chain of successful business people with representative offices in the U.S.A., Germany, Australia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Switzerland, Taiwan, Japan, Ghana, Dubai, Russia, Uzbekistan, Romania, TRNC and Ukraine."
Selahattin Par, born in Siverek, Şanlıurfa, said that he stepped into the business world after his law education and summarized the establishment of Intisad as follows: "6 years ago, we decided to establish an NGO that has no political basis, where people can freely support any political party they want. Our main goal is to create a reliable trade network all over the world. For this reason, we do not find it right to lean on any party."
Selahattin Par said that Intisad has representation offices in 16 countries, "What is important for us in these countries is to walk together with solid, reliable and strong partners. We are sifting and weaving. It is not enough for INTISAD to live and trade in that country. It is very important that they are strong, reliable and of high quality and can provide references. Otherwise, if we wanted members without any elimination, it would be no problem to find hundreds of representatives in a month. We do not want this. Because such a system would not have any sustainability. Working without sustainability also puts our future at risk. For this reason, we do not compromise our principles." He said.
Stating that Intisad has a strong network in the countries where it has representative offices, Par said, "We have sectoral commissions in our association. Sectors such as construction, textile, health and food. At the head of these commissions are our members who are experts in this sector. We bring together business people who can walk with us in international fairs and congresses with our existing members by making new members.
In order to increase export figures, we come together with non-governmental organizations abroad and organize workshops together. In 2023, our export figures exceeded 100 million dollars. The products we export are very variable. We export many products such as electronic materials, construction products, textiles, health products, disassembled furniture and mines. We export some products to the European market and some to the Middle East market." He said
Speaking about Intisad's 2024 targets, Selahattin Par said, "We aim to increase the number of students we mentor to 1000. Because the future and their bond is very important for the future of our association.
We also aimed to double our export figures. We also aim to increase the number of points to 40 with the right representatives for us."
