Who is in the visiting delegation?

Up to 15 Turkish automotive supplier firms are planned for the visiting delegation. This maximum refers to visiting suppliers, not a stated limit for Romanian counterparts. The company list and local participation arrangements will be confirmed by the organizer.

Who is this programme for?

This website is for companies operating in Romania that want to meet visiting Turkish automotive suppliers: manufacturers, potential production partners, industrial parks and relevant service providers. Use the form to apply for Day 1 sessions and Day 3 afternoon B2B meetings only. Factory visits and hosting are arranged separately with BRIDGE TTI.

Is the Ford Otosan plant visit confirmed?

No. The Craiova plant visit is subject to approval, including group size, access and confidentiality rules. Alternative Craiova-area manufacturers and site visits are also being planned and remain subject to confirmation.

How does the B2B matching work?

Day 3 afternoon is dedicated to B2B meetings. Your Romanian company’s capabilities and cooperation priorities help BRIDGE TTI identify suitable visiting Turkish counterparts. The draft proposes 45-minute slots within the half-day programme, not a guaranteed meeting quota. Each Romanian company’s appointments depend on matching, availability and confirmation.

What languages will be used?

The programme languages are Turkish and English. Romanian–Turkish interpreting will be arranged where needed. Please share any specific requirements with the organizer.

How can a Romanian company take part?

Apply through the Microsoft Form for Day 1 sessions on 16 December and/or Day 3 afternoon B2B meetings on 18 December. All of Day 2 and the morning of Day 3 are dedicated to factory visits, coordinated separately with BRIDGE TTI. The form does not accept applications for those visits. Attendance, B2B appointments and venues require organizer confirmation.

Do I need to pay when registering?

No. The Microsoft Form records interest only and does not confirm a booking. No payment is collected on this website. Final participation arrangements will be confirmed separately by the organizer.
