The 7th Istanbul Finance Summit (IFS) -- which features Anadolu Agency as a communications partner -- will take place at the Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus Hotel between Sept. 6 and 7.

IFS'16 is expected to provide significant collaboration opportunities, especially to participants from Europe and the Middle East.

The event will host major decision makers, private-sector delegates and academics.

Among the summit’s 12 sessions, topics including the financing of high technology, cross-border capital flows plus research and development in emerging markets will be discussed.
