Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a recent priority theme that plays an important role, as the world is increasingly being shaped by technology, digitalization, and new media. Innovation and entrepreneurship are vehicles to self-sufficiency for Turkish and regional entrepreneurs, the drivers of future economic growth. There is a small, but burgeoning, entrepreneur community that receives international, local, non-governmental and governmental support. The goods and services that are created by Turkish entrepreneurs not only address gaps in the local economy but also regional ones. In addition, we see this space increasingly giving a voice and a source of income to those on the periphery: women, refugees, and minority groups.
