At least 40 Turkish companies have expressed interest in the new media technologies developed by Israeli companies currently being presented at the IBC Conference in Amsterdam.
The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, which set up an Israeli pavilion at the Dutch conference together with the Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute, reported that it had set up some 800 meetings for Israeli companies with potential customers.
Israel Export Institute CEO Avi Hefetz said, "Watching the business conduct between Israeli companies and Turkish companies interested in their products, you would never believe that there is a diplomatic crisis between the two countries. People know how to make a distinction between the diplomatic crisis and business matters."
Hefetz added that the Israeli pavilion in Holland had also been visited by businessmen from Iran and Iraq.
