Türkiye's Best Entrepreneurs Come from Bahçeşehir

In the "Türkiye's Best Entrepreneurs Business Plan Competition," organized by the "Global Entrepreneurship Program" run by the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) and the US Department of State, our 4th-year students in the Department of Environmental Engineering at the Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Engineering, Mehmet Enes Kutluca and Damla Paşalar, won "first place" with their company "Green Age Tech."

Awards were given in two categories: early stage and growth stage. Among early-stage ventures, our university students Mehmet Enes Kutluca and Damla Paşalar came first among 32 finalists with their project "Green Age Tech," which treats wastewater to make it usable, and received their award from Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan.

Selected from among 160 candidates by 26 American and Turkish delegation members, the entrepreneurs may have the chance to receive support from American and Turkish investors and will have the opportunity to meet ventures such as YouTube, Twitter and Instagram in America.
