Türkiye's largest metropolis, Istanbul, is set to host the second edition of the premier e-export summit next month. The event brings together dozens of global e-commerce platforms and speakers as global e-commerce trade volume is projected to reach $7 trillion this year.
The biennial Istanbul Global E-Export Summit (IGEXX 2026) will take place on Sept. 3-5 at Haliç Congress Center.
The summit is organized by the Türkiye Exporters Assembly (TIM) in strategic collaboration with the Electronic Commerce Business Association (ETID), under the coordination of the Ministry of Trade.
This year's gathering, the first following the inaugural one in 2024, is held under the theme "Beyond Borders," underscoring the strategic role of e-commerce trade that transcends countries' borders and is increasingly becoming part of strong competition.
The press briefing ahead of the summit was held at TIM's complex in Istanbul on Wednesday, featuring the participation of Erbülent Kurşun, Deputy Director General of Exports at the Ministry of Trade; Çetin Tecdelioğlu, Vice Chair of the Board at TIM; Hasan Önal, head of the E-Export, Digital Marketing and Disruptive Technologies Department at the Ministry of Trade and ETID Secretary-General Ömer Gürkan.
