Our story
About Us
Moving to a new country means building a life anew. So does starting a business. TUREWIA brings these journeys together, helping women learn from one another and build new collaborations.
“One woman’s experience
can become another
woman’s first step.”
Learning from one another
We share business ideas, research approaches and resources that make the journey easier.
New collaborations
We bring together knowledge and skills from different countries to explore what we can create together.
Turkish Entrepreneur Women International Association
Different countries. Shared courage.
TUREWIA began in 2018 with five women coming together around a shared idea: Turkish women living abroad can open doors for one another through their knowledge, experience and mutual support.
Today, we bring together women across countries who run a business, are developing an idea or want to explore entrepreneurship.
Why we come together
We aim to make women’s work more visible, share practical knowledge about entrepreneurship and international trade, and create opportunities for meaningful collaboration.
Our community is built on respect, sharing and solidarity. Whether you are taking your first step or sharing years of experience, your story has a place here.
