Exhibitors
For Turkish companies entering African markets
Over two days, pre-scheduled meetings with African buyers looking for your product group. Your stand is in the exhibition area; your meeting schedule is ready before the forum.

Why GIB Forum
Why take part in GIB Forum?
A verified buyer profile.
Every visitor is verified by company and position; before the forum we share the country and sector breakdown of visitors.
Pre-scheduled meetings.
Matching is based on the target countries and buyer profile you state in your application; meetings are scheduled by table and time.
A limited number of stands.
At the first forum we deliberately keep the number of exhibitors limited, so that each company’s meeting quota stays meaningful.
A written package.
Stand size, included services, meeting quota and price in one document; items not included are listed in the same document.
Participation packages
Five participation packages
Packages differ by the space you take in the exhibition area: a table, or one of four stand sizes. The amounts below are in USD.

B2B matching
How B2B matching works
Matching compares the details in your application with verified visitor registrations; nothing is left to chance.
- 1
In your application you state your product group, target countries and the buyer profile you are looking for (importer, distributor, chain, investor).
- 2
As visitor registrations are verified, their purchasing interests are matched with your product groups.
- 3
Before the forum you receive a proposed meeting list; the ones you confirm are scheduled by table and time.
- 4
During the forum you hold your appointments at your meeting table, with language support where needed.
- 5
After the forum your meeting list and contact details (with the other side’s consent) are sent to you.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
We do not export yet; can we take part?
Yes. For companies taking their first step into African markets, we put the distributor profile forward in matching.
Can we attend meetings only, without a stand?
A stand-free option is under consideration. Tell us in the application form that you are interested; our sales team will send the current options in writing.
Is there a meeting guarantee?
The number of meetings depends on how well the visitor profile fits your product group. The meeting quota in your package and the matching process are set out in the contract.
