At the International Entrepreneurship Panel hosted by the Balıkesir University Technology Development Zone, we discussed the processes by which startups expand into global markets, investment dynamics, and the goal of fostering new Turcorns in Turkey.
At this event, which brought together academia, the public sector, and the business community, valuable insights were shared regarding the international dimension of entrepreneurship.
The panel, which took place with the participation of academics, business representatives, and entrepreneurs, alongside Prof. Dr. Fatih Satıl, Vice Rector of Balıkesir University, and Mr. Mehmet Şafak, Provincial Director of Industry and Technology in Balıkesir, served as a strong example of university-ecosystem collaboration.
We would like to extend our special thanks to the distinguished speakers who contributed to our panel:
???? Zico Ufuk Batum
???? Dr. Ali Cihan Kurt
???? Ahmet Acaroğulları
???? Dr. Yılmaz Pekmezcan
The knowledge, experience, and perspectives they shared served as an invaluable guide for our entrepreneurs.
During the panel, participants were also briefed on the Startup World Cup Turkey 2026 event, which will be organized under the leadership of TÜBİTAK Marmara Technopark.
One of our key objectives is for startups emerging from Balıkesir to generate value on a global scale and evolve into structures capable of attracting investment.
In this regard, we are creating a foundation that enables our entrepreneurs to take stronger steps on their international journey.
