Resounding Success: Turkish Entrepreneurs Transform B2B Commerce between Medellín and Bogotá through the Electricity Sector
With resounding success, an event has been held that has left a deep mark on the commercial relationship between Medellín and Bogotá. Turkish businessmen, leaders in the electrotechnology sector, have landed in these two cities within the framework of the Turkey-Colombia business conference. This initiative has not only strengthened commercial alliances, but has opened new opportunities for the import and distribution of inputs and machinery in the local market.
The majestic San Fernando Plaza Hotel in Medellín and the iconic Hilton Hotel in Bogotá became the epicenters of this historic event. Colombian businessmen and Turkish member companies of the Electrotechnical and Service Exporters Association (TET) met and established solid commercial ties, laying the foundations for fruitful cooperation.
Fatih Kemal Ebiçlioğlu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of TET, has had his expectations exceeded. The electrical-electronic generation and distribution equipment sector in Türkiye has found fertile ground in Colombia. The constantly developing Colombian industrial market has generated genuine interest among Turkish companies, which have found strategic allies in their Colombian counterparts to meet the growing demand for technological and innovative products and services.
Soner Akdokur, economic attaché of the Turkish embassy in Colombia, confirmed the great impact of the product exhibition. From transformers and reactors to industrial automation systems and electronic security, the Turkish portfolio was received with great enthusiasm. Colombian businessmen, eager to incorporate Turkish technology and experience, have found in these products a source of innovation for their operations.

The commercial results obtained in this business roundtable transcend initial expectations. The economic impact in Colombia has been significant, further consolidating the electricity sector as a key driver of national growth and development.

The Türkiye-Colombia business conference in Medellín and Bogotá has been a resounding success. It has demonstrated, once again, that B2B relationships are the engine that drives economic growth internationally. The electricity sector has acted as a successful bridge between two different business cultures, creating a lasting impact on both sides. The ties built at this event continue to thrive and point toward a promising future of collaboration and shared success.
