Istanbul Mineral Exporters’ Association (İMİB) has taken action to make Turkish natural stone a brand in the world.
İMİB Board Member Funda Bekişoğlu mentioned that they are very excited to introduce Turkish natural stone to the world.
Bekişoğlu; ‘The name of our project is “Land of Stone”, that is, “Motherland of Stone.” We gave this name to the project because these lands we live on are the lands where the history of natural stone began. This is a concept that we deserve by birth, a concept that we naturally deserve. With this project, we will set the bar very high in the promotion of Turkish natural stone. With this in mind, we held many consultation meetings with the Ministry of Commerce under the consultancy of professional agencies for the project that we started 1 year ago, which will promote Turkish natural stone to the whole world. We managed to get ‘Turquality’ support for our project, which is the most prestigious and high-budget promotional support given by our state.’
@imib_ins Board Member @fundabekisoglu said that the first big step of the project was taken by signing a sponsorship agreement with the world’s most prestigious architecture festival ‘World Architecture Festival (WAF)’ in the international arena and that Turkish natural stone will be carried to the top with this festival, where the world’s largest architectural projects compete and shape the future of the building sector.
