Opening the workshop at the Selçuklu Congress Centre, our President Güliz Arıkoğlu highlighted Konya’s economic strength.
The Structural Reform Workshop, organised by TÜRKONFED and hosted by MEVLANASİFED at the Selçuklu Congress Centre, addressed the city’s production power, regional competitiveness and strategic position in the economy.
In her opening speech, MEVLANASİFED Chair Güliz Arıkoğlu pointed to Konya’s 31 million square metres of organised industrial zones, 1.88 million hectares of farmland and exports that grew by 5.1 percent. She stressed that a city’s strength is measured not only by output but by skilled human capital, technological infrastructure, branding and quality of life.
TÜRKONFED board member Ekmel Tozoğlu recalled that 2026 had been declared the “Year of Structural Reforms” and said shifting industrial production to Central Anatolia should be a state strategy.
