Welcome to Next Economies Summit 2025

Click and mark your calendars for September 12-14, 2024 in Istanbul

The root cause of the climate, biodiversity, and social crises lies within our current economic system. Last year’s International Prosumer Economy Conference (IPEC2024) showed strong interest for coming together again and working towards “United Next Economies.”

Next Economies is distinct from other conferences due to its focus on actionable systemic solutions and their practical implementation. This unique approach attracts a diverse and influential global audience. Our conference draws in policy makers, impact and philanthrophic investors, companies and social entrepreneurs interested in sustainable and innovative practices. It also engages NGOs, international organizations, academia and professionals from various sectors, including finance, media, tech, and creative industries.

Stay updated with the latest news by following our social media accounts!

We look forward to welcoming you to Istanbul in September 12-14, 2025!

                                                      Prosumer Economy Society

                                                      Prosumer Economy Society was established in December 2015 by social entrepreneurs, civil society experts, researchers, scientists, ecology and human rights activists, financial technology and sustainability investors. Its purpose is to conduct research on ecologically and socially fair business models, strengthen and promote best practices, and inform the public about the positive effects of the prosumer economy on nature conservation and the construction of a sustainable society.

                                                      Since its establishment, the society has been conducting various activities to establish a direct relationship between ecologically and socially fair producers and prosumers in different regions of Turkey, and to establish a sustainable, circular, and fair economy. Today, within the scope of the society’s impact, there are over 820 producers and more than 27,000 prosumers. Through https://turetimekonomisi.org/ you can reach the website.
