Admin-reviewed onboarding
TurkDutch Marketplace reviews organization profiles before they become public and are labeled as approved on the marketplace. This helps create a more credible early environment while the network is still being built.
About
A curated marketplace being built for Dutch-Turkish business and innovation collaboration.
TurkDutch Marketplace is building an admin-reviewed network of organizations while engaging stakeholders across the Dutch-Turkish ecosystem ahead of broader launch.
Mission & Vision
Mission
TurkDutch Marketplace exists to strengthen practical collaboration between organizations in the Netherlands and Turkey. The platform is starting with a curated network of companies, universities, research and technology organizations, public institutions, municipalities, and non-profit actors that can discover each other, build trusted connections, and turn shared interests into concrete cooperation.
Vision
We believe Dutch-Turkish collaboration should be easier to initiate, easier to evaluate, and more visible across sectors. TurkDutch Marketplace is being built as an admin-reviewed marketplace where early participants can build visibility, test collaboration demand, and help shape a stronger cross-border ecosystem before broader launch.
Focused early-stage network
The early-stage emphasis is on attracting relevant companies, institutions, and cross-border opportunities rather than maximizing volume too early.
Stakeholder engagement underway
We are engaging embassies, consulates, chambers, universities, innovation networks, and ecosystem organizations that can strengthen visibility, trust, and launch momentum over time.
Key objectives
