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 move matters because it puts verifiable trade evidence directly into the hands of the firms that Turkish exporters and importers already rely on for advice, potentially accelerating deal-making at a time when the country's trade routes are carrying more freight than at any point in recent years.
The timing reflects a broader shift in global trade patterns. Three corridors now connect Türkiye to Europe, Central Asia, and the Gulf, and one reactivated through Syria in 2025 has already moved more than 5,000 TIR carnet shipments, some reaching Riyadh from Gaziantep in as little as 3.9 days, according to the International Road Transport Union. TradeInt's own review 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 attributed the shift to wider pressure on global supply chains, noting that geopolitical tensions and disruptions are increasing demand for faster, more flexible, and more predictable transport alternatives.
For consulting firms, the grant addresses a practical gap. With access to TradeInt's platform, an advisor 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 static directory listing. Those are the questions clients bring to their advisors routinely, and they are questions a conventional company database cannot answer. The platform aggregates over 10 billion import-export trade records across 200+ countries and 80+ official customs authorities, with more than 500 million company profiles and a 60 million importers and exporters database.
TradeInt frames the economic payoff in direct 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 opportunities unclaimed. Each additional shipment moved represents 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."
Both TradeInt and Türkiye's Ministry of Trade describe the collaboration as part of a shared push toward a more informed, connected trade environment. They 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 signals a growing recognition that data access, not just infrastructure, may determine which firms capture the opportunities created by shifting global supply chains.
