The 10th International 'Information and Management' Symposium focused on strategies for Turkish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to access the European market, with a particular focus on the German market. Companies that have achieved success in Germany were highlighted as 'best practice' examples at the symposium, which also provided a discussion platform for business and university representatives. The event aimed to promote academic and commercial cooperation between Turkey and Germany, and to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between theory and practice.
