Entrepreneurial Projects awarded at the Final of the 2nd Idea Box & G-FAST Acceleration Program

The final of the Idea Box & G-Fast Entrepreneur Acceleration Program, which was implemented for the second time in order to bring new success stories to the entrepreneurship ecosystem and develop ideas with business potential in cooperation with Sakarya Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SATSO) and Sakarya University Technocity, was carried out.

SCCI Chairman of the Board A. Akgün Altuğ, who took the floor at the final program, stated the following: "If I had made this speech 10 years ago, I would have said that our only chance is to produce because Turkey is not a country with infinite resources. However, today this is not enough... We need new ideas and initiatives much more.

We always stand by young people and new ideas. We strive to speak the same language with you and share your excitement. We need to hear their voices. Today’s event is a model of how we can listen to and support them. Our world is being shaped by new ideas and it is much more important to differentiate production and shape it with new ideas.

We appreciate your every work that adds value to our city and country. I wish you continued success."

SAU Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Barış Horzum, who took the floor after President Altuğ, emphasized the importance of the fact that entrepreneurial ideas can evolve into big projects that touch life and make a difference, and pointed out that they always care about ideas and that the program will provide serious benefits in this sense. He also congratulated all the finalist teams.

After the presentations, the first place was awarded to the SÜTÇE X project, which developed a product that makes life easier for breastfeeding mothers, by the voting and evaluation of the jury members of the final. QAPI Project, AGRIGEN Project and UAV Project followed the first place respectively.

The awards were presented to the winning teams by SCCI Chairman of the Board A. Akgün Altuğ, Chairman of Assembly Erdem Ercan, SAU Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Halit Yaşar and Sakarya Technocity General Manager Assoc. Dr. Yakup Köseoğlu.
