The purpose of this study is to gain a richer understanding of Turkish small and medium enterprises and its evolvement over time. The study concentrates on the capabilities these businesses possess in regard with exports. It focuses on the number of exports accounting to small and medium enterprises located primarily in Turkey; however, it also gives basic information about some other countries behavior. The hypothesis of this study is to prove that the Turkish SMEs are growing in importance for its industry; however, there are still obstacles and barriers which have to be solved. The study is a qualitative research made from primarily statistics from various papers and reports. Results show that there is an obvious increase in exports due to or as a result of a higher number of SMEs but also of government incentives.
