The final day of TÜSİAD’s “Bu Gençlikte İŞ Var!” Entrepreneurship Camp Program was held on Friday, February 27, at Mithat Çoruh Auditorium, hosted by Bilkent University.
As part of the 2026 cycle, which received over 700 applications and selected 15 startup teams, the camp brought together university students, entrepreneurs and business community representatives to encourage innovative thinking and strengthen entrepreneurial skills. The day opened with “The Entrepreneurial Journey and Investor Relations” by Ege Nasuhoğlu (MAN’07 / Co-Founder, Be Advice). This was followed by “Entrepreneurship Examples from Bilkent University,” featuring Bilkent alumni Asst. Prof. Tolga Demir (MAN) and Mert Gür (CS ’17 / Founder & CEO, Loop Games), who shared their experiences and insights. Faruk İnaltekin, General Manager of Bilkent Cyberpark, also attended the camp and met with young entrepreneur candidates.
Throughout the program, participants gained valuable guidance on the entrepreneurial journey, investor relations, product–market fit, sustainable growth and the startup ecosystem, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset among Bilkent students.
On February 28, the 15 teams will present their ventures to TÜSİAD members, and 10 startups will be selected to join the TÜSİAD Dönüşümü Hızlandır! acceleration program for 2.5 months of one-on-one mentorship.
