​Investment and Finance Office is marking its 20th anniversary by hosting a series of high-level receptions across 20 global destinations, highlighting T​ürkiye's transformation in foreign direct investment (FDI) and its evolving role in the international investment landscape.

Bringing together investors, business leaders, and public sector representatives from around the world, the Office is using this milestone year to present Türkiye's FDI journey and its increasingly strong value proposition to the global investment community.

The latest reception in this global series was held in Madrid, in cooperation with the Embassy of Türkiye in Spain, and brought together a distinguished group of local and international investors, entrepreneurs, senior executives, and policymakers.

Opening remarks were delivered by Investment and Finance Office President A. Burak Dağlıoğlu, and Türkiye's Ambassador to Spain Nüket Küçükel Ezberci.
