TPN-E

About us

Since 2011 we have been bringing together professionals, entrepreneurs and students of Turkish origin in and around Eindhoven.

Who we are

TPN-E was officially founded in June 2011 and brings together highly educated professionals, entrepreneurs and students in higher education living in and around Eindhoven. Our members are professionals of Turkish origin: born in the Netherlands, fluent in Turkish, or having moved from Türkiye recently or longer ago.

At TPN-E we aim to play a respected and active role in Dutch society. To get there, we work with other organisations on inspiring projects that respond to the needs of society. As volunteers, we want to be a meaningful voice on issues that affect society and to inspire the people around us.

Our vision

As productive individuals and professionals of Turkish origin who have put down roots in the Netherlands and stand at the heart of society, our aim is to stay in continuous dialogue and exchange with Dutch society, and to build a peaceful, successful and shared future.

Our association also aims to encourage the integration and social participation of professionals of Turkish origin. As successful and engaged members of Dutch society, we want to help make our society stronger by celebrating diversity and increasing mutual understanding.

Our mission

  • Building on our vision of a strong and lasting network, we connect professionals of Turkish origin with professionals of every nationality in the Netherlands.
  • Through personal development workshops we help participants move their careers forward and realise their individual potential.
  • We represent our community and create a range of platforms to make our voice heard and increase our visibility.
  • Together with institutions and organisations we develop joint projects and work to increase our social impact.
