Within the scope of the Kristal BİGG Program, carried out under the leadership of Erzurum Technical University Kristal Entrepreneurship Center and in partnership with ATA Teknokent Inc. and Sistem Global Consulting Inc., comprehensive entrepreneurship trainings were provided for entrepreneur candidates. Within the scope of the 2025/1. Term activities of this program, which is carried out on behalf of TÜBİTAK and provides 900 thousand TL support to young entrepreneurs with technological business ideas, qualified trainings were provided to 44 project ideas that were found suitable for the program as a result of the evaluations made after the preliminary applications.
Aiming to help them overcome the obstacles they may encounter on their entrepreneurial journey, these trainings were presented by the expert staff of the project partner Sistem Global Consulting Inc. The trainings not only improved the knowledge and skills of the entrepreneurs, but also contributed to them designing the business ideas they will present to TUBITAK in a more qualified way. Following the training process, the entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to present their technological business ideas to the jury at the DEMODAY event to be held at Erzurum Technical University.
Making evaluations about the program, Erzurum Technical University President Prof. Dr. Bulent Cakmak drew attention to the contribution of entrepreneurship to regional development and emphasized that the Kristal BİGG Program offers an important opportunity for young entrepreneurs. Prof. Dr. Cakmak stated that the training provided within the scope of the program allows entrepreneurs to make their business ideas stronger and said, “As Erzurum Technical University, we are very happy to be involved in projects that support entrepreneurship. Such programs developed within our university enable young people to implement their innovative business ideas while also contributing to regional economic growth.”
