G\u00fcler said: \u201cIncreasing competition, the obligation for sustainable production, and the need to access new markets are making international organisations that bring sector stakeholders together on the same platform more important every day. The fact that we have brought together a large number of domestic and international companies and industry professionals under one roof in past years clearly shows that Turkchem Eurasia is strongly recognised by the sector. The strong interest we have observed during the launch process for the 2026 edition also reveals that the fair has become an organisation closely followed not only in T\u00fcrkiye, but across Eurasia as well. With our structure strengthened through state support and growing international participation, we aim to offer our participants more qualified collaborations, sustainable commercial relationships, and new market connections in the 2026 edition. Turkchem Eurasia will continue to keep both today\u2019s needs and future transformation topics on its agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A STRONGER 2026 EDITION WITH \u201cPRESTIGIOUS FAIR\u201d STATUS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Turkchem Eurasia 2026 has been evaluated within the scope of the <strong>\u201cPrestigious Fair Status\u201d<\/strong> by the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of T\u00fcrkiye and is included among the supported organisations under the updated <strong>Domestic Fair Supports Communiqu\u00e9<\/strong>.
