The meeting was organized in order to strengthen the cooperation of universities in Istanbul and to improve the common working ground in the fields of technology transfer and entrepreneurship. In the event, which started with the presentation of IGU TTO Manager, important exchanges of views on support and information sharing were held between the participants.
One of the most important items of the agenda was the strategies to increase the sharing of knowledge and experience between TTO and TEKMERs. Participants discussed common steps that can be taken to strengthen universities' technology transfer and entrepreneurial ecosystems. Suggestions such as organizing training programs especially for entrepreneur candidates, developing joint projects and strengthening inter-university support mechanisms were presented.
A joint workshop is planned
While various strategies for TTO and TEKMER to establish closer cooperation with the business world and entrepreneurs were discussed at the meeting, it was decided to organize a joint workshop at the next meeting.
At the end of the meeting, it was emphasized that the meetings held on this subject played an important role in strengthening Istanbul's technology and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
