Prepare Your Venture for Investment!

Pre-Application and Demand Collection Process Launched for the Balıkesir Teknokent Entrepreneurship Development and Demo Day Program!

As Balıkesir Teknokent, we are planning to implement the “Balıkesir Teknokent Entrepreneurship Development and Demo Day Program” to enhance the capabilities of technology-based startups and SMEs in growth, commercialization, and investment processes.

Under this program, selected ventures and companies will be included in an intensive development process accompanied by industry experts and mentors, lasting two weeks. The online training and mentorship activities will cover topics such as developing business models and value propositions, strengthening growth and market entry strategies, evaluating financial structures from an investor’s perspective, understanding investment processes and investor expectations, and preparing effective investor presentations.

Following the training process, companies will be given preparation time to refine their presentations and adapt the information they gained to their own ventures.

The Demo Day event, held at the end of the program, will provide participants with the opportunity to present their ventures, products and services, business models, and growth potential to investors, business representatives, and stakeholders in the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
