The Turkish Women Entrepreneurs Association (KAGIDER) officially launched its new international initiative, KAGIDER Global, at the historic Penn Club in New York City, establishing a worldwide network to support Turkish businesswomen, entrepreneurs, academics and writers abroad.
The inaugural event drew approximately 90 high-level executives, entrepreneurs, academics and authors living in the United States, including New York Commercial Attache Filiz Koseyener and Zeynep Yazal, wife of Türkiye’s Consul General in New York Ahmet Yazal.
KAGIDER Board Chairwoman Esra Bezircioglu, who led the launch, emphasized the platform’s cross-border mission.
“KAGIDER Global will serve as a solidarity platform that transcends boundaries, enabling Turkish women entrepreneurs, senior executives, academics and writers living abroad to strengthen together and transform the world,” Bezircioglu said.
“Our goal is to create an ecosystem where they can support each other and develop sustainable business models not just in our country, but around the world,” she added.
The gathering focused on strategies to enhance businesswomen’s creativity, leadership potential and economic contributions on the global stage.
Following the New York launch, KAGIDER Global plans to hold its next meetings in Brussels in April and London in May, continuing its expansion across major international business centers.
