A safe way for Turkish SMEs to reach new markets: Export Portal

Turkish SMEs are struggling due to the current economic crisis. The adverse domestic market conditions and a weak Turkish Lira force them to seek out different opportunities and revenue streams in more valuable currencies. The macroeconomic indicators of the Turkish economy do not look promising in the short-term, which means SMEs need to be able to start exporting.

These companies are not experienced well in international trade, and many of them have language barriers to reach foreign customers. SMEs have some advantages because many of them are family companies, and their labor costs are low. At the same time, they are not experienced in how to represent their unique value propositions or expand their business globally. Small SMEs can also be boutique producers supplying exclusive products by considering the needs of their customers, and that might bring them essential advantages to compete with large companies. Being able to export would provide them better financial conditions to innovate their production processes and their products. 

Considering their limited abilities to get started in international trade, they need guidance and safety for a successful experience. At the same time, they do not have enough experience to reach information about foreign customers before they contact them for exporting their products.
