17th Türkiye Investment Conference

From September 22–24, 2025, the American Turkish Business Roundtable (ATBR), in partnership with TAİK – Türkiye-U.S. Business Council, had the distinct honor of co-hosting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the 17th Türkiye Investment Conference in New York. The Presidential Roundtable convened senior executives from 25 leading U.S. companies across key sectors, providing an opportunity for direct engagement with President Erdoğan and Turkish cabinet ministers responsible for Foreign Affairs, Energy, National Defense, Trade, and Treasury & Finance. We were also privileged to welcome The Honorable Tom Barrack, U.S. Ambassador to Türkiye and U.S. Special Envoy to Syria, who led the U.S. delegation in this high-level dialogue advancing U.S.–Türkiye economic cooperation.

The conference program also featured an evening reception at the historic New York Public Library, bringing together distinguished representatives of the American and Turkish business communities for an evening of connection and shared vision. In addition, ATBR was honored to welcome H.E. Alparslan Bayraktar, Ph.D., Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of the Republic of Türkiye, for a breakfast discussion focused on regional energy dynamics, investment opportunities, and Türkiye’s strategic role in the global energy landscape. This session was co-hosted alongside TAİK and the Atlantic Council Turkey Program. Collectively, these engagements underscored the growing momentum in the U.S.–Türkiye partnership, and we extend our sincere appreciation to our corporate sponsor for supporting this important convening.
