IIUSA was proud to serve as a supporting partner at the International Citizenship Expo in Istanbul on November 15th, the association’s first-ever event in Turkey. Our participation marked an exciting step into a market that is clearly emerging and poised for sustained growth in the years ahead.
We were pleased to be joined by five IIUSA member organizations whose support made this milestone possible: EB5 Capital, EB5 Affiliate Network, CMB Regional Centers, FirstPathway Partners, and Manhattan Regional Center. Their presence underscored the strong industry interest in expanding engagement with investors and stakeholders across Turkey.
A highlight of the Expo was an educational panel moderated by IIUSA’s Director of Events & Business Development, McKenzie Penton, alongside representatives from our participating member organizations. The discussion provided attendees with an informative primer on the EB-5 Program, covering the fundamentals of investment immigration, recent policy and industry updates, and the broader economic benefits of EB-5. The session drew strong engagement from the audience, demonstrating the growing appetite for reliable, up-to-date information within the Turkish market.
Throughout the Expo, IIUSA engaged with prospective investors, industry professionals, and local partners eager to learn more about the EB-5 Program. The high level of interest reaffirmed Turkey’s rising importance as a developing EB-5 market. As IIUSA continues its mission to support and strengthen the global EB-5 industry, we are excited to build on the momentum generated in Istanbul. With a full calendar of events planned for 2026, we look forward to further connecting with members and stakeholders around the world—and we hope to see many of you there.
