Independent Industrialists and Businessmen Association

Independent Industrialists and Businessmen Association (Turkish: Müstakil Sanayici ve İşadamları Derneği, MÜSİAD), is a non-governmental organization strongly aligned with Turklish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, consisting mostly of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), founded by a group of Turkish businessmen on 5 May 1990.

According to 2015 records, MÜSİAD has 85 contact points in Turkey, 159 contact points in 63 different countries, and more than 11,000 members. The association holds an ISO 9001:2000 Quality Certificate.

MÜSİAD organizes an annual defense industry fair called High-Tech Port by MÜSİAD. The second fair was held between 6–8 October 2015 in Doha, Qatar, and promoted billions of dollars of trade between Turkey and Qatar.[1][2] MÜSİAD also supports Turkey’s Housing Developers and Investors Organization (KONUTDER) exhibitions to increase real estate trade ties to investors from the Gulf.[3]
