The Türkiye–EU Business Dialogue II (TEBD II) Project has launched a call for experts to support the implementation of the Sustainable Growth Support Programme. This programme is designed to strengthen the capacity of Turkish chambers, equipping them with the knowledge and tools needed to guide SMEs in adopting sustainability and circular economy practices throughout their value chains. The initiative will help chambers to provide informed, practical, and strategic support to businesses navigating evolving market expectations on sustainability and use it as a competitive advantage for their strategy.

The second SME Workshop in Europe, held in Hungary on 20th of October 2025, successfully brought together representatives of Turkish diplomacy, the management of local chambers, and Hungarian companies that already have, or wish to establish, partnerships with Turkish counterparts. The event served as a dynamic platform to explore new opportunities for cooperation, trade, and innovation between the two countries.

Eurochambres is looking for a specialized agency, an economic research institute or a think-thank (hereinafter the “Tenderer”) for actual polling of minimum of 5.000 companies in the EU and 5.000 companies in Türkiye, amounting to a total of 10.000 companies; and with target response of minimum 1.500 companies on each side amounting to a total of 3000 fully completed company surveys.

On 7 March 2025, the first SME Workshop under the TEBD II project took place at the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry in Valletta. The event brought together Turkish and Maltese business representatives to explore new opportunities for collaboration and trade. This was the first of five SME Workshops to be organised in EU member states as part of the TEBD II project. Additionally, 35 similar workshops will take place across Türkiye, led by local, regional, or national chambers.
