Türkiye's Ministry of Trade has partnered with TradeInt to provide a grant giving local consulting businesses funded access to shipment records, customs filings, and Bill of Lading data spanning more than 200 countries. The initiative places verifiable trade evidence directly into the hands of the consulting firms that Turkish exporters and importers already rely on for advice, aiming to improve the quality and speed of trade decisions at a time when the country's freight corridors are carrying record volumes.
The timing reflects Türkiye's growing role as a trade bridge. Three corridors now connect the country to Europe, Central Asia, and the Gulf, and a route reactivated through Syria in 2025 has already moved more than 5,000 TIR carnet shipments, with some reaching Riyadh from Gaziantep in as little as 3.9 days, according to the International Road Transport Union. TradeInt's own review of the year's trade data put Türkiye's 2025 exports at $269.7 billion, including a September peak of $22.6 billion, the country's strongest month on record. IRU President Radu Dinescu tied the shift to wider pressure on global supply chains, noting that geopolitical tensions and disruptions are increasing demand for faster, more flexible, more resilient and more predictable transport alternatives.
With funded access to TradeInt's platform, a consulting firm can confirm whether a prospective buyer is actively importing a client's product, check a supplier's real export history, track a competitor's shipment activity in a target market, or build a market-entry case grounded in current data rather than a directory listing. Those are the questions clients bring to their advisors routinely, questions a static company database cannot answer. Consulting firms and the businesses they advise can review the underlying shipment data themselves at https://www.tradeint.com/search.
TradeInt frames the payoff in economic terms. Better-equipped consultants can help more Turkish import-export firms convert the country's corridor position into completed trade, diversify into new export markets, and close deals faster instead of leaving the opportunity unclaimed. Each additional shipment moved is revenue and, indirectly, jobs tied to logistics and trade services, reinforcing the case for continued investment in Türkiye's role linking Europe, Asia, and the Gulf.
"This collaboration reflects something we hear from consulting firms in Türkiye constantly: access to reliable global trade data can change the quality and speed of the advice they provide," said Eric, Chief Executive Officer of TradeInt. "By bringing TradeInt's platform closer to the consulting community, we aim to help more businesses discover opportunities, make better-informed trade decisions, and grow their international presence."
TradeInt and Türkiye's Ministry of Trade describe the collaboration as part of a shared push toward a more informed, connected trade environment. Both sides point to a simple measure of success: more Turkish importers and exporters making faster, better-evidenced decisions, and more of the country's corridor position converted into trade that actually happens. The partnership underscores a broader trend in which access to granular, real-time trade intelligence becomes a competitive asset for small and medium-sized enterprises seeking to navigate complex global supply chains. By subsidizing that access for local advisors, the initiative could lower the barrier to data-driven exporting for thousands of Turkish businesses, potentially accelerating the country's integration into high-growth markets and strengthening its position as a logistics and trade hub between Europe, Asia, and the Gulf.
