The “Grow with Turkey” conference, which will gather prominent Turkish and British figures who will be seeking ways to foster economic ties between Turkey and the United Kingdom, will take place in London on Nov. 26 and 27.

The conference will be jointly organized for the second time by the Turkish Economic Foreign Relations Board (DEİK) and the Turkish-British Business Council.

Opinion leaders and prominent business, political and academic figures from both countries will meet in several events and sessions as part of the event. Turkey’s fast-growing economy and investment opportunities will be under the spotlight during the contacts.

“While the global economic structure is reshaping, the cooperation that Turkey will develop with natural and strong allies like the U.K. holds great importance on its road to becoming a financial and investment center,” Turkish-British Business Council Chairperson Suzan Sabancı Dinçer said in a statement. There will be four main panels within the conference, which will comprise topics related to the Istanbul Finance Center, energy, innovation, mega projects and infrastructure.
