The 2nd Foreign Trade Summit, organized by Istanbul Kultur University (IKU) Department of International Trade and Finance in collaboration with DIŞYÖNDER, was held on November 7, 2025, under the theme “Turkey's Vision for a Sustainable Foreign Trade Surplus.”

Organized by the Department of International Trade and Finance, Istanbul Kültür University hosted 15 students from DHBW Mannheim University between September 18-23, 2025. Within the scope of the event, which was held for the second time this year, students from DHBW Mannheim University began joint projects with our students from the Department of International Trade and Finance.

This year’s opening lecture was delivered by Prof. Dr. Martin Kornmeier from DHBW Mannheim University. With his valuable insights in the field of International Trade and Finance, Prof. Dr. Kornmeier inspired our students and contributed to the successful completion of the orientation program for both our Turkish and English departments. Thus, we have officially launched the 2025–2026 academic year.
