The outcome of <\/span>T\u00fcrkiye<\/span>\u2019s election last month brought no surprises for those of us who met up on the banks of the Bosphorus. <\/span>
We spent three days immersed in geopolitics, investing and opportunities to secure citizenship by investment. The group of exceptional speakers that we gathered helped shape an optimistic – yet realistic – outlook for <\/span>T\u00fcrkiye<\/span> irrespective of who would win the forthcoming presidential election. <\/span>
T\u00fcrkiye holds its global role well – physically at the convergence of Europe, the Middle East and Asia and politically between Russia and the west. This reality and T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s aspirations were demonstrated well by our speakers and experienced by each of us.<\/span>
Aside from astronomical inflation and a questionable human rights reputation, President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan has led <\/span>T\u00fcrkiye<\/span> to a central role on the world stage. He aims to take the country even further, and many of <\/span>T\u00fcrkiye’s<\/span> 85M inhabitants are eager to go there with him.<\/span>
Our goal with each Obris meet up is to give participants invaluable tools to build upon as they consider investing, and in many cases living in the countries we visit.<\/span>
At the Istanbul Meet Up, we received presentations on geopolitics that shape <\/span>T\u00fcrkiye<\/span>and the surrounding region as well as investment prospects within <\/span>T\u00fcrkiye<\/span>. <\/span>
We explored <\/span>T\u00fcrkiye<\/span>‘s investment landscape of venture capital, private equity and capital markets. <\/span>
And, we explored <\/span>T\u00fcrkiye<\/span>‘s Citizenship by Investment program with a team of immigration attorneys from Akkas Law, complemented by an extensive tour of residential real estate throughout <\/span>T\u00fcrkiye<\/span> with a team from Keller Williams Istanbul.
<\/span>Add to that, we took in amazing vistas, exceptional food and the rich culture of T\u00fcrkiye. <\/span>
If you are exploring the world in search of a second passport or a place to call home, <\/span>T\u00fcrkiye is well worth your consideration.<\/p>\n
We descended on Almaty (the business and cultural center of the country) and Astana (the capitol) for six days of food, fun and exploration. <\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>Get ready for the next Obris Meet Up. <\/span><\/p>\n
