Artkim CEO Cengiz Yaman stated that they support the industry to achieve its export targets and pointed out that specialized fairs play an important role in establishing new business contacts and opening up to new markets. Commenting on all three industries that make up the Life Sciences concept in his statement, Yaman said, "The Turkish cosmetics and cleaning products sector, which grows by an average of 10 percent annually, exports to 162 countries and has a foreign trade surplus. Our aim with specialization fairs is to contribute to this growth. In the food sector, we believe that Turkey has great potential with its favourable geographical conditions and climate, and large and fertile lands. When we look at the global pharmaceutical market, we see that it reached a volume of USD 1.5 trillion in 2022. In 2022, Turkey ranked 21st globally in pharmaceutical exports with an increase of 0.6 percent and USD 1.92 billion. We believe that the fairs will have an impact on increasing Turkey's market share." Fair visitors will be able to get information from experts about the latest developments and technologies in the sector, with the conference program and other events to be held between 31 May and 2 June 2023.
