Our institution is a reliable advocate, partner, and network dedicated to improving the lives of people and the community.

What We Do

The American-Turkish Investment Council (ATIC) is a non-governmental organization established to provide opinions and practical assistance to Turkish and American business circles on trade, economy, finance, industry, and similar topics, and to enhance commercial, economic, and cultural relations between the two countries.

Headquartered in Istanbul, the Council has representatives both domestically and in the United States.

We advocate for policies that help institutions grow our economy and create jobs. With a strong track record of success, we assist today’s institutions and entrepreneurs in navigating the complex and constantly changing landscape to start, grow, and develop. Through our events and meetings, we connect individuals and institutions with business and government leaders and provide tools and resources to help them succeed.

ATIC’s mission includes enhancing Turkish-American commercial and economic relations, attracting and increasing American investment in Turkiye, boosting E-Exports and E-Commerce from Turkiye to America, and collaborating with other NGOs and legal authorities in both countries to identify problems and generate solutions. We also guide SMEs in strengthening their institutional infrastructure and increasing their competitive power.

Everything we do at ATIC aims to promote international trade and investment for inclusive growth and prosperity.

Having witnessed the power of international trade to lift millions out of poverty, we are now focused on the future of globalization that works for everyone, promoting inclusive and sustainable growth.

We combine our global impact with our unique expertise in advocacy, standard-setting activities, and global services to promote international trade, responsible business management, and a global approach to regulation.

What We Believe In

We believe in the potential of the business world to advance society and make the future of individuals, communities, and our country brighter. We trust in the ability of American and Turkish businesses to improve, solve problems, and strengthen society.
