About Us

Through its collaborative approach and strategic focus, ATBR shapes the future of bilateral economic cooperation and investments.

Since its establishment, American-Turkish Business Roundtable (ATBR) has been a pivotal platform organization that fosters economic collaboration and mutual understanding between the United States and Türkiye.  It has been a vital resource for its members who seek establishing long-term business ties between the two countries.  Established to enhance bilateral trade and investment, ATBR serves as a platform for business leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders from both countries to connect, share insights, and explore opportunities. The roundtable facilitates discussions on various sectors, including defense, technology and energy, aiming to identify and address challenges that hinder economic growth.

American Turkish Business Roundtable (ATBR) advocates for sustained, versatile cooperation between the Turkish and U.S. private sectors to advance shared national security interests and deter regional threats. We achieve this by fostering deeper integration of the private sector into the bilateral defense industrial base and energy resource management.

Through conferences, roundtables, and networking events, ATBR promotes dialogue and collaboration, helping to bridge cultural and business practices between the two nations. Additionally, it advocates for policies that enhance trade relations and provides resources for businesses seeking to expand internationally. The organization's commitment to build a strong transatlantic partnership reflects its understanding of the strategic importance of U.S.-Turkiye relations in a globalized economy. ATBR, with the initiatives that it launches, not only supports the interests of its members but also contributes to broader economic stability and prosperity.  This makes ATBR a crucial player in the ongoing high-level dialogue between American and Turkish businesses. As such, ATBR continues to play a significant role in shaping the future of commerce and investment in both countries.
