How it works

How organizations participate in TurkDutch Marketplace

The marketplace is designed to make discovery, relevance, and first contact more structured for organizations active across the Dutch-Turkish business ecosystem.

Participation begins with reviewed access, then expands through clearer profiles, live opportunities, and more visible first business contact.

Participation model

Reviewed access, flexible participation, and more structured first contact

TurkDutch Marketplace is designed for organizations that want a more focused route into relevant business conversations, whether they are looking for partners, presenting services, publishing opportunities, or combining multiple roles at once.

Reviewed access before entry

Organizations can create an account immediately, but private marketplace browsing begins only after review.

Different ways to participate

Organizations can present capabilities, explore demand, publish opportunities, or operate across multiple roles.

Tracked first contact

Introductions and inquiries stay visible inside the platform so first business contact starts with more context.

What approval means

Approval is a marketplace access decision, not a certification service

TurkDutch Marketplace reviews organizations before private member access is granted. The goal is to keep the environment more credible and easier to use, not to act as a credit bureau, legal certifier, or guarantee of business quality.

Review means suitability for marketplace access. It does not constitute financial, legal, credit, or commercial certification, and members should always do their own due diligence before entering into business relationships.

Identity and business presence

We look for a real organization, a named representative, professional contact details, and enough business presence to understand who is applying.

Relevance to the ecosystem

We review whether the organization has a credible fit with the Dutch-Turkish business ecosystem, the Netherlands, Türkiye, or adjacent cross-border collaboration.

Profile clarity and seriousness

We check whether the profile explains activities, expertise, and collaboration interests clearly enough for other members to assess fit.

Suitability for member access

We may decline, pause, or limit access when a profile appears misleading, low-quality, spam-oriented, or unsuitable for a private member environment.

Founding access terms

Founding members join early, shape the network, and receive a defined first-year offer

Founding members are the first carefully selected organizations helping shape TurkDutch Marketplace while the early network is still being built. Approved founding members currently receive 12 months of complimentary access from the approval date. During that first year, founding members build an early presence in the network, publish opportunities, receive tracked introductions and inquiries, and help influence how the marketplace develops.

What founding members currently receive

  • a reviewed organization profile visible to approved members
  • the ability to publish listings, requests, and opportunities
  • tracked introductions and inquiries inside the platform
  • access to ecosystem insights and live agenda signals
  • early presence before the wider network fills out
  • direct input into how the marketplace and network develop

Membership is granted per organization, with one primary contact applying and managing the profile initially.

A commercial membership structure will follow later. Founding members will be informed at least 90 days in advance before any paid transition takes effect.

Participation remains reviewed to protect the relevance, quality, and credibility of the network.

What founding members receive in year one

12 months of complimentary access, a reviewed profile, the ability to publish opportunities, and tracked first contact inside the marketplace.

How participation is structured

Membership is organizational, reviewed, and designed for relevant businesses and ecosystem partners that can contribute to the early network.

How the later transition is handled

A commercial membership structure will be introduced later, with at least 90 days of advance notice before any paid transition takes effect.
