USTEDC — U.S.–Türkiye Economic Development Corporation

Engagement model

How organisations work with USTEDC

USTEDC is designed to operate through private-sector revenue: engagement fees, programme contracts, institutional partnerships and eligible economic-development programmes where it qualifies and is awarded funding. Fee-bearing engagement keeps the platform independent of any single sponsor and aligns our work with completed transactions rather than activity.

Integrity

Principles we hold to

  • No success fee is charged on transactions arising from grant-funded programme work.
  • Membership never buys a favourable assessment. Supplier screening results are reported as found.
  • Conflicts of interest are declared in writing before an engagement begins.
  • Public-programme outcomes are reported publicly, whether or not targets are met.
