Purpose

Turning talk into something actionable

Artificial intelligence is no longer a topic for the future — it's today's operational reality. Yet most organizations aren't uncertain about the technology itself so much as where to position it.

International Business Forum was designed to close that gap. The program is built so that every approach presented on stage has a measurable counterpart — case studies, failed attempts, and cost breakdowns included.

Our goal is for participants to leave after two days with a concrete roadmap they can bring back to their own organizations.

What is IBF

A business network running since 1995

The International Business Forum (IBF) was launched by MÜSİAD in 1995 on the principle of building a lasting “global business network” among the business communities of different countries. The first congress convened in Lahore in 1995; today the network spans 42 business associations across 27 countries.

The platform is governed by the Board of Governors (BOG), made up of the presidents of the member associations. IBF works to build economic ties between countries, develop sustainable models of cooperation and accelerate social and economic development.

Held each year under a set theme, the congresses combine high-level panels with country presentations, multinational investment project pitches and sector-based business meetings.
