www.cebit-bcs.com International Trade Fair and Conference for Satellite Communication, Broadcasting and TV-Content The leading fair of its sector in the Eurasian Region DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!! www.cebit-bcs.com We invite you to profit from the Eurasian region s most dynamic and vibrant business platform Broadcast, Cable & Satellite eurasia 2005 a CeBIT event. UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITIES The demand of the Turkish broadcast, cable & satellite industry is covered to a large part by imports. Local manufacturers can not yet answer the needs of the industry. Especially latest state-of the-art products and services of digital technology have to be purchased from abroad. Distribution is mainly undertaken by the local representative agencies or distributors of leading international companies. The Turkish market thus offers a huge unmet potential for international manufacturers. PERFECT TIMING The time is right to conduct business and seek partnerships in Turkey. The country is energized by a series of positive economic developments. Turkey s ongoing commitment to integration with the world economy facilitates a stable base for foreign investment. Turkey has recently been given the green light for commencing accession talks targeting full membership in the European Union, which will further accelerate its economic growth. At the same time Turkey has strong trade relationships with countries throughout the Near and Middle East and the Eurasian region. GENERAL OUTLOOK ON TURKISH MARKET
With a current population of more than 72 million, Turkey is expected to become the most populous country in Europe in the next decades (the forecast for 2025 is a total population of 84 million). The latest statistics show that the urban population constitutes around 67% of the country s total inhabitants. The fact that it is the most industrially developed country in the Eurasian region and the existence of young customers who demand quality products are the two most outstanding factors in the expected increase of Turkey s foreign trade in the following years. Turkey plays a very important role in Eurasia as a bridge for Western countries exporting to the region.
