Turkey-Luxembourg Business Club (TLBC) was founded by a group of experts in finance, law and international lobbying, but after the team change, it continues on its way with new partners in the fields of medicine, hotel management, construction and industry. Its aim is to inform businessmen by giving them advice on doing business in Turkey and to help them adapt to the latest changes in the financial world. Its main goal is to integrate the two markets by combining projects related to the development of the private sector in the fields of economy, trade, industry, and finance of both countries. It also aims to initiate and develop relations, and to create flexible, deep, and effective business relations by improving the global competitiveness of both economies
Turkey Luxembourg Business Club has relations with over 200 companies both in Luxembourg and Turkey. In November 2013, the Grand Duke of Luxembourg made an official visit to the Republic of Türkiye for the first time. During this visit, it was decided to establish a Business Council between the two countries. The Business Council organizes the necessary relations within DEİK and the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce. In this way, it directed its own network to that side for the development of the Council. TLBC (Turkey-Luxembourg Business Club) has been invited by both DEIK and Luxembourg to be on the Board of Directors of the Council. Since its official address is in Luxembourg, it has been accepted as a member of the Board of Directors of the Luxembourg Business Council.
